Hello Chris,

Well,  this  works for all programs that use autoconf. Why should Hurd
be different ?

So I need dpkg just to compile Hurd from sources ? I can't believe it.
I   respect   Debian   for  their  work  but  IMHO  kernel  should  be
distribution-agnostic  and  depend  only  on  the  strictly  required
software  (C  compiler, make, etc.) so that it can more easily be used
in another environment.
