They are most likely links from potato that are mirrored in our hurd directories because they are "*-all.deb" style packages that are supposed to work for all architectures. This worked fine when ports meant Linux to -alpha, -i386, -mips, etc., but is not working out so well for us with our "hurd-i386" architecture.
The only proviso here is that we are using some Linux kernel source for drivers in the hurd.... But I would advise against downloading these sources. Marcus: Do we have a way to block out some of these types of packages? -Brent
