This only means that you underestimated our progress. :)

As the libraries work fine (get them from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/debian), we can offer X using software.
Use a remote display to use them.

Those are not binaries, but packages that do not contain compiled
programs
and are thus installable on any platform. Unfortunately, there is no
seperation
between such Hurd and such Linux packages currently, so it's a huge
mess.
So, all files that are symlinked to the binary-all part of the tree are
potentially only useful on linux platforms. But this is not true for all
of
them.
After all, you can install the kernel sources on any computer. For
example,
for cross compilation.

It is the correct place.
Thanks,

Seth,
I assume you are not using the gnu_[date].tar.gz file form
alpha.gnu.org, and instead are using individual packages. Is
this correct?
If so, you need to find the ncurses-term package from Debian.
It should be under the admin directory -- it replaces ncurses-base
and will satisfy that dependency.
