Hurd bugs are always at most Severity: important, as hurd-i386 is no
release architecture and thus bugs in it cannot be release critical.

It's best practise to quote the build error here, you can just
copy&paste from http://experimental.ftbfs.de if you want.

If you want, you can post patches to the alioth patch tracker for review
first: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?group_id=30628&atid=410472
You best need an alioth account for that though, I can add you to the
debian-hurd project then.


cheers,
