There's an APT Offline Howto (included in the Debian package...),
which explains how to upgrade a system via APT, which itself doesn't
have internet access. That means, you let APT on your GNU/Linux system
fetch all the packages your GNU/Hurd system needs onto a shared
store. Then you can install them from GNU/Hurd providing that store as
an APT cache.
