Packages remaining at debian-ports

[Svante Signell <svante.signell@telia.com>]

Hi,

I tried to summarize the situation at
ftp://debian-ports.org/debian/pool-hurd-i386/main as also written down
at the debian-hurd wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/Hurd,
see the attached text file.

Looks like there are soon only one/two packages left to keep at ports:
ghc6 and sane-backend-extras (WIP). This information will be used as
some statistics for the upcoming draft: Bits from the GNU/Hurd porters
to be sent to the list later today (hopefully) for review, as suggested
by Samuel on IRC recently.

I think it is important to show our presence, especially before FOSDEM
Feb 4-5 and the Debian bug squashing party in Paris, Feb 17-19.
