That sounds fine. I remain the arbiter of "the right way" to do things in libc for hurd, but I have had no time to deal with it. When I get to the libc hacking, I'll discuss it on libc-hacker and with Mark. There will probably be some shared library version problems between the current intermediate states, your debian package state with Mark's patches, and what I end up with for a "finished" glibc-2.1 hurd version. But we can just deal, and bump the numbers several times if need be. With debian packages set up, it should not be so bad to have to rebuild everything.
