It was removed from the Debian archive with the other hurd-i386 packages.
IMO it needs to be included in debian-staging so it gets back in again.

When I get up I will take a look at these packages.

There are some very useful packages in contrib, dosemu and lyx being two
examples. debian-cd has managed to migrate from contrib (potato) to main
(woody) and there may be other similar packages that have not managed to
migrate.
While I would like to drop non-free, I don't think we can do it yet, but I
would say that it is at the bottom of the list.
