I think that even if the acl and attr packages build, they are architecture: any, the functionality is not yet available with the standard xattr API, see http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/xattr.html This mail is Cc:-ed to bug-hurd. I think you should use bug-hurd and/or debian-hurd lists for your inquiries. help-hurd is very a low traffic list.
