/hurd is a very different sort of beast. It holds binaries which are translators--they are not run from the command line at all, but are automatically started up by filesystems to create things roughly like mounts in Unix. /hurd is therefore an entirely different kind of file from the ones common on Unix systems. It's well-explained in the as-yet-unpublished Hurd annex to the FHS. I don't think there will be any reason to have Hurd-specific Debian policy overrides to the FHS, because instead the Right Thing will be to specify the right Hurd things in the FHS itself.
