I suspect that you are refering to this message by Roland
McGrath (strangely, I couldn't find it in the archive):

The GNU Project and the Hurd developers use the name
"GNU/Hurd" to refer to a whole operating system that is based on
the Hurd and other GNU packages. This is the preference of the
FSF and we (the volunteer Hurd developers) are happy with that
and like the consistency of uniform treatment of the
name. Please use "GNU/Hurd" to refer to the operating system
when speaking formally in documentation or choosing titles.
I do not speak for Debian or Debian/Hurd, but "Debian
GNU/Hurd" is what I've understood to be the proper title of the
debian distribution.
