Well yes, Hurd over L4 is in a very early stage now, but I think
having Pistachio packaged for Debian is good from a developer
prespective, to have a good development platform. Also it can be
used later for the Hurd or L4Linux or other stuff using it.

No, I'll not be packaging it, at least now, there are only ports
for 2.2 and 2.4, it's i386 only, and I don't want to add Yet
Another Linux Kernel Source package, maybe if some day we have
Source-Depends... :>
But well, if that undesirable is to have such packages in the
archive I could place them in some public repo.
regards,
guillem
