Need this (if it works OK).

Or point some of these to /gnu/var/.... if you like. If your linux
partition is too large to access from hurd, then you'll at least want
archives to be in your hurd partition. That's where to look for the
packages when you use dpkg by hand (see below).

Don't do this. You want to download only from linux then install
natively.

Once you get the packages downloaded using linux, then boot hurd and
use dpkg --force-conflicts to manually install packages as needed.
Dselect's conflict resolution screens are useful to help determine which
conflicts to override - I don't recall which at the moment. Once the
conflicting packages are installed OK, the rest drop in nicely. IIRC,
only two or three packages have to be installed this way.
