This is the most simple way, IMHO.
I think it would be a shame to throw away my work and start from scratch, and I think it would be a waste of a student's time. Google isn't paying people to reinvent wheels for the sake of it; it's paying them to do work useful to free software projects. IMO it's entirely appropriate for a student to take existing work and run with it; I believe that, even with the groundwork I've tried to lay, there is still plenty of material in a d-i Hurd port to keep a student busy for quite some time.
