Hello.

While updating the gettext package, which now has build-depends
on those two packages, I looked at this package first and
noticed the [linux-any] restrictions in debian/control.

Are those restrictions really needed?

Apparently the packages do exist for all architectures,
including the Hurd:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=acl
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=attr

so if they are not usable, I'd like to know.

Cc to Samuel, who maybe knows the answer.

Thanks.
