It's mostly psychological problem.  If someone is Hurd newbie and (s)he tries to 
use fakeroot for building Debian packages, what do you think that (s)he'll think 
about the Hurd?  I think that such bad experience can be greatly softened by, 
e.g.,  a top-level file BUGS that lists major user-visible known bugs.  We are 
not releasing 0.3 for ourselves, we are releasing for getting attention to us.
