Hi, I have been working (as a GSoC student for the GNU project) on a series of patches which improve signal delivery on Hurd. I believe they're ready to be tested in Debian and therefore I submit the changes I used to build my own "preview" packages.
Because the series introduces new symbols but we expect them to be used only by the hurd package, it seems appropriate to add our own deb-symbols file -- see the first patch thereafter. Somewhat arbitrarily, I used 2.11 as a "baseline" for Hurd's unversionned symbols. The second patch actually adds the series to debian/patches/hurd-i386. See bug-hurd [1] and github [2] for the raw material.

Be aware, though, that the hurd package therein depends on the extra symbols, and as a consequence your system will break on a libc upgrade if said libc does not include my patches, or includes them under a different version ('echo libc0.3 hold | dpkg --set-selections' advised.)
