I tested libpciaccess0=0.14-1+hurd.2 and it seems to cause a hang when loading 
network interface currently in debian hurd
on native hardware, I am currently running hurd on x200 thinkpad.

When I upgraded libpciaccess to 0.16 (upstream) and used the pci-arbiter 
cleanup patch that I wrote (and sent to Samuel),
the hang goes away and I am able to get an IP address.

Alternatively, roll back to libpciaccess0=0.14-1 and it works.
