Good!

You don't need to fix them for the Hurd. If you want to work on this software,
you can fix them and submit the fixes upstream, but it is not of interest for
Debian GNU/Hurd directly.

I think it never tried. It never came so far yet.

If you are a Debian maintainer, you can upload it. If you aren't, you can still
help in various ways, and when you feel the time has come, join Debian and
do the uploads.

You send it to submit@bugs.debian.org (please see bugs.debian.org how to
submit a proper bug report, or use bug/reportbug utilities). The maintainer
then should take care of it, or some other Debian maintainer can do an upload
(but it is more work for other Debian people than the maintainer, so it is
usually left to the proper maintainers). The autobuilders (oasis, or, as it
is currently, my machine), will pick it up automatically. As we have to try
over 4000 packages, it might take some time until we come to it.

Nice. Because of the nice report, I will compile and upload lincity
"out of the queue". ;)
Thanks,
