Sergiu rightfully so reminded me that I had forgotten to do that.
blubber is again up running, and grubber will be in some days --
realistically.  ;-) (I did some changes to my install scripts, and want
to test and use these improvements for re-installing grubber.)
<http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/public_hurd_boxen/zenhost/> now
documents the installation process, so that someday another person can do
this, too.

Michael, FYI: This indeed the case.  The only strange thing I noticed is
this:

    I: Extracting /var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_7.5-6_hurd-i386.deb...
    I: Extracting /var/cache/apt/archives/dash_0.5.5.1-3_hurd-i386.deb...
    tar: ./bin/sh: Cannot create symlink to `dash': File exists
    tar: ./usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz: Cannot create symlink to `dash.1.gz': 
File exists
    tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
    I: Extracting /var/cache/apt/archives/debianutils_3.2.1_hurd-i386.deb...
    I: Extracting 
/var/cache/apt/archives/diffutils_1%3a2.8.1-18_hurd-i386.deb...

But this didn't have any negative effects (dash finally is running as
/bin/sh), so I ignored it.
