I suspect a broken build. Only single build of findutils > 4.4 succeeded
on hurd (4.6.0+git+20160126-2) and afaict for this build the testsuite
run was manually disabled (probably DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS nocheck). A
rebuild with testsuite half a day later failed.
This should not have ended up in the archive.
