If I remember correctly, that patch just fixed building the package, but
did not make sure it actually worked. I've attached an old patch we
used to get a more-or-less dummy(?) ifupdown package built to satisfy
debootstrap. No idea whether it would still apply.

Well, the Hurd port never used or provided ifupdown for configuring the
network, so don't wait on us to push the new ifupdown into unstable.

I am afraid I am currently too busy with real life, and have too less
knowledge about either ifupdown, netlink and the hurd to be of much use
anyway.

ifupdown (0.6.4-4.10+gnu.1) unreleased; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* debian/control (Depends): Replaced net-tools with ${net-tools}.
* debian/rules (DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM): New variable.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): Substitute ${net-tools} with `net-tools'
only when DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM is linux, leave it blank otherwise.
* debian/rules (test): Do not run tests if $DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains
`nocheck'.
