I asked Marcus yesterday, and he said that if the Hurd terminal
descriptions are present as default, it would not be necessary (at
least, that's how I understood, I've no clue about such things). As
those description seem to be present in the current ncurses-bin Debian
package (which is essential), I assumed it would not be necessary.
I've ran 'tic -x hurd.ti' before testing this packages, so I can't tell
whether it would work or not, or what the problems would be.

Oh, hmm. crosshurd's native-install script actually has these lines,
which should get run on first invocaton:
# Setup crucial devices
echo
echo The next job is to setup device files.
cd /dev
/bin/sh ./MAKEDEV -v std ptyp ptyq
/bin/sh ./MAKEDEV vcs tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6
I /really/ thought they were not present after my last crosshurd
install, but perhaps I generated them unconditionally.
Even better then :)
