Well, I have already uploaded a +hurd.1 fixed version to debian-ports'
unreleased, to save hurd boxes from the mayhem. experimental wouldn't
have saved them since upgrades would rather pick up unstable by default
(while unrelease does take over unstable). But as soon as a newer
version is uploaded to unstable, I have to upload another +hurd.1
version. Or else I could upload a 1: epoch version on debian-ports'
unreleased, so it'd override the unstable version anyway.
