Probably not, and I doubt it is a good idea. ftp.debian.org does contain the
"stable" packages. alpha.gnu.org does contain test releases and critical
stuff. It is not good to mix both, although everyone should have a look at
it to see if he can make use of some files.
The symlinks in the hurd tree are architecture-all packages. Some you need,
some you must not used. We are working on a general solution to this problem.
I will try to document the various places in one place, which seems to be a
good compromise :)
