I don't think this works at present.

You would start with something like:
  $ sudo lwr -o hurd.iso --architecture=hurd-i386 -d unstable
but this fails in debootstrap:
  E: Couldn't find these debs: linux-image-hurd-i386 acpid

This in turn seems to be a vmdebootstrap bug, as it invokes debootstrap with
'--include=acpid,sudo,linux-image-hurd-i386', which you can see with:
  sudo vmdebootstrap --sudo --arch=hurd-i386 --distribution unstable --squash=/tmp/hurd-test
which will print
  ERROR: command failed: ['debootstrap', '--arch=hurd-i386',
'--include=acpid,sudo,linux-image-hurd-i386', 'unstable',    '/tmp/tmp7srJ9T',
'http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/']
before failing with the original error yet again
  E: Couldn't find these debs: linux-image-hurd-i386 acpid
