There isn't really any hurd-specific part of glibc in question, in fact. default-rpath is controlled by the libdir and slibdir you configure glibc to install in. If the debian-hurd system is going to use a layout with a /usr dichotomy, then it seems appropriate for the debian-hurd glibc package to use slibdir=/lib and libdir=/usr/lib, as done on linux. The /usr/lib -> /lib symlink is likely to have the same kinds of issues as /usr -> / does (/usr/lib/foo vs /lib/foo in one package), so if you decide to punt the /usr symlink then I don't see why you wouldn't just punt the unified layout entirely. (Note that I have not offered an opinion on /usr vs not.)
