When it is ready. Note that GNU/Hurd 0.3 will appear independently and
probably sooner. The Debian release number is coupled to the Linux release.

For GNU/Hurd, this would be the Hurd authors. For Debian, this would be the
Debian community, with my and other peoples input. The last call has
probably the release manager.

About ten times as much as already has happened.

Luckily you didn't ask last year :)
You see, I try to avoid to answer your questions. You will not squeeze
anything out me :) But if you want to make it happen, get the Hurd, gdb, and
start to debug. With every bug recognized and fixed, we come closer to a
release of GNU/Hurd 0.3
To move forward with the Debian distribution, get a package and try to port
it.
Thanks,
Marcus
