The current system is Debian, as described by debian-policy.
Although the only released target is Linux, I don't see that
debian-policy is particularly Linux specific.

No. If you want a BSD system that feels like FreeBSD, run FreeBSD.
Why change Debian to feel like FreeBSD - what is the advantage?
Similarly, why not run the native Hurd distribution if you want
a system that feels exactly like the GNU system? Why run Debian?
(IS there a native Hurd distribution? I'm not sure.
Perhaps you're trying to make Debian into that product.)

Then what does it mean to actually be Debian?
