The thing is: this is not a simple task to compute. The debian-cd
scripts themselves get it wrong: they say that the base installable, but
the version mismatches break the configurability. So besically one has
to just try to install and see what happens; we used to have a
jenkins job on 

https://jenkins.debian.net/view/g-i-installation/job/g-i-installation_debian_sid_hurd_lxde/

but this got broken at some point and nobody took the time to fix it.
The contact person is Holger Levsen <holger@layer-acht.org> and the
repository is on

https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net

There seems to be at least gdb (which is fixed upstream), which I have
now also dropped from the daily build. I have started a build, we'll see
if that's enough.
