No, you can simply use apt-get if you have network running (or use
apt-get in offline mode from a second Debian GNU/Linux installation).
If you want to take advantage of using a bigger / partition you need to
backup/restore and/or reinstall GNU/Hurd though, of course. That should
normally not be needed at all.
glad it worked so well for you,
Michael
