I agree with Anthony here(shock, that). The very idea that hurd developers
think that any software written on or for(or running on thru emulation) hurd
is perfect, is completely asinine.
When hurd is released, software will be run on it. Software that was released
with Debian, *AND* software from other sources. You may think software
released with hurd will be secure, but what about after the fact? How often
have you installed a testing or unstable package on a stable box? Either thru
a recompile, or by upgrading certain packages?
