So far, there isn't any actual proposal, so let's not fight about that, OK? If someone actually proposes to policy to have one and the same program live in /lib on GNU/Linux, but /libexec on GNU/Hurd, then they are crazy, and we already know their proposal will be dead in the water. It might be convenient for Hurd-specific packages to go ahead and use libexec, but that's a complex issue, and there's no point in trying to settle it in advance. As far as I can tell, there is no good reason for it, but I might be wrong. And none of this is really relevant to Debian. Debian policy tracks the FHS about these kinds of things. Of course, we could make special exceptions, but I think Debian has taken a strong stand--rightly so--in favor of tracking FHS even when many might think it's suboptimal.
