As one of the arbiters of "official" for the Hurd, it is my opinion that the workingness of the "working" vs the "cutting edge" is such that the official statement at this time should be "you don't want it unless you want to hack, in which case you want the cutting edge". I would rather see more people clamoring for and volunteering to help with making debian/hurd a viable reality, than installing (or attempting to install) gnu-0.2 and suffering the common bugs. At this point, I think gnu-0.2 is a useful collection of binaries (the binaries other than gnumach, libc, and hurd) for hackers to bootstrap building debianized worlds, *after* they have gotten the current "cutting edge" mach, libc and hurd packages installed.
