No, you should spend your time on the Hurd, because there are fewer
people that can do that work. Keep track of programs that have PATH_MAX
or access(NULL) problems, and when people say, "how can I help", we can
point them at this list.
File Debian bug reports on the Debian packages concerned. Let the
Debian maintainers cope with dealing with upstream (after all, it's what
they have volunteered for).
