Follow-up Comment #7, task #7218 (project administration): Michael Banck, the leader of the Debian GNU/Hurd port, started a thread [1] a few days ago regarding the LX1 installer and suggesting better integration with d-i. Kiran responded [2] and indicated
Parallel to the current installer we are also planning to import the current logic into the debian installer with the help of Philip and Praveen. Raghesh Sir is trying to port the hurd binaries with in the current debian installer. It thus appears to me that the long term goal is not to fork d-i but to merge changes upstream and develop within the d-i framework. As there is at least one Hurd friendly person on the d-i team, I don't think integration will be a problem. Further, as the submitters are not the upstream maintainers of the software and do not intend to fork, it is unclear to me whether they have the right to request that d-i become an official gnu project.
