The intention is adding hurd-i386 to jenkins.d.n CI [0]. Currently VMs are booted with --kernel/--initrd options to pass preseed file url [1]. I'm about proposing changes to boot hurd with qemu multiboot options [2]. Given jenkins.d.o is wheezy and I was told such multiboot options make qemu 1.1.2 crash on wheezy, I filed this bug. If debian-qa decide to install qemu from wheezy-backports (1.7.0 atm), multiboot will work, no need to backport anything. As alternative, as you already explained, cherry-picking needed changes to upload to stable, trying to satisfy all requirements that implies.
