Indeed, see the package which contains them. It's coreutils on hurd-i386, while it's login on amd64. The coreutils one doesn't use login.defs. The reason for it is probably that the hurd package already provides a /bin/login program, and thus provides the login package, and thus login is never installed, and thus somebody probably asked to enable su in corutils. I'm not sure how we want to align hurd-i386's behavior on other archs: patch coreutils to use login.defs, or install the login package but use hurd's /bin/login instead of login's.
