I'm rather sure some patches required to get anything serious (e.g.
ext2fs) booting and working still only exist on my tablet, so this
must be talking about me.
What I have here is not really a bootable Debian... it's a Frankenhurd
made partly out of Samuel's debs, partly built myself. There's not
much of a system, there are the Hurd servers, libraries, and /bin/sh
(and some utilities I'm calling from it like uname). This is in many
ways like booting Linux with init=/bin/sh, surely you wouldn't call
that 'booting Debian'?
A more correct description would be:
Work on the x8_64 userland port started in Feb 2023 [note: I'm
counting from my first x86_64 glibc patches, but surely there's been
related work before, e.g. Flavio's MIG changes]. As of May 2023, the
x86_64 port works well enough to start all the essential Hurd servers
and run /bin/sh.
(If you want more specific dates: I first got ld.so and libc.so
building on March 11th, the bootstrap task first ran all the way to
main on April 20th, and I got /bin/sh running on May12th).
