The Debian GNU/Linux setup is this.

I think the copyright notice is useful. How about that:

This is the Hurd.  Welcome.

Note that we probably need a reorganization of the ftp archive before we can
implement this. The problem is that binary-all packages are for all
architectures, and either we have to declare base-files as arch specific, or
we need a new system tag to differ binary all hurd and binary all linux
packages.

We'll see.

Thanks,
