Sorry, I meant GNU Hurd (without a slash, I was confused). I mean
the official GNU Hurd source tree, which does exist, and it is
completely outside of Debians control.
But just like it is done with other GNU packages, Debian can add patches
to it, and I frequently do. Those patches are usually of mediocre
quality or don't go in the right direction of the system's design.
They exist solely to add a feature urgently needed, or they are
experimental.

Debian GNU/Hurd is right now the only binary distribution of the
GNU/Hurd system. But I was talking about the GNU Hurd project,
which is a GNU project on savannah. Sorry about the confusion.
Thanks,
