On a fresh install to hurd-i386, dselect seemingly is blissfully unaware of
files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, so I pressed A to configure the access
method. This made dselect create a new /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to Stable
and following the old lists format:
----------
$ sudo dselect

/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/setup line 28.

The access schemes I know about are: http ftp file

----------
The setterm errors are probably due to Hurd missing a few packages in its
bootstrap. This can be safely ignored for the purpose of this bug report.
The real issue is dselect insisting on creating an old-style sources.list since
it seemingly cannot deal with deb822 *.sources by default. It would be a good
idea to fix this on time for Trixie.
Thanks!
