Bug#577978: crosshurd: installation of Hurd hangs

Package: crosshurd
Version: 1.7.37
Severity: important

Hello,
I tried to cross-install Hurd into an empty ext2 partition, and the installation process hanged after printing this:
| Fetched 38.2MB in 1min 1s (627kB/s) | Download complete and in download only mode 
| I: Extracting /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_5.3_hurd-i386.deb...

It looks like there are some issues with handling /bin/sh symlink:

# pstree -A -a -p 6251
crosshurd,6251 /usr/sbin/crosshurd
  `-makehurddir.sh,6298 /usr/share/crosshurd/makehurddir.sh /media/pendrive/ i486 gnu
      `-makehurddir.sh,7018 /usr/share/crosshurd/makehurddir.sh /media/pendrive/ i486 gnu
          `-tar,7179 -xkf -

# strace -p 7179
Process 7179 attached - interrupt to quit
symlink("dash", "./bin/sh")             = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
symlink("dash", "./bin/sh")             = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
symlink("dash", "./bin/sh")             = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
symlink("dash", "./bin/sh")             = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
symlink("dash", "./bin/sh")             = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
symlink("dash", "./bin/sh")             = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
symlink("dash", "./bin/sh")             = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
[and so on...]
