That would risk messing up packages lists by having the same binary package name in different source packages. Alternatively, I have tried adding an Arch:hurd-any Priority:important base-opensysusers package that depends on opensysusers, and debootstrap does unpack it before cron, thus fulfilling the dependency. That'd probably be the simplest? Samuel
