Which warning? Why adding APT::Get::Allow-change-held-packages=true?

Check /etc/shadow, it's probably just not defined. That being said, since mmdebstrap was recently fixed into being able to cross-install hurd (even setting up /dev entries with xattr), I don't really see the point in trying to fix crosshurd, when mmdebstrap is maintained and has little hurd knowledge that we'd have to maintain.
