The GNU/NetBSD thing was announced last March. The Debian group, which has
wanted to build of distro around the hurd kernel, got tired of waiting. The
NetBSD kernel is fairly mature, stable and "free" so was an obivous choice.
However, the FreeBSD kernel is nearly as mature/stable/free as NetBSD's and
has more PC hardware support, so Debian has probably decided to go that
route.
