All those warnings, but these in particular:

---
dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 5 package 'dpkg':
missing 'Architecture' field
---
dpkg: hurd: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
hurd depends on xkb-data; however:
Package xkb-data is not installed.
---
/var/lib/dpkg/info/sysvinit-core.config: 25: [: -gt: unexpected operator
---

The "invalid user: 'root'" thing -- that could probably just use 0,
especially considering things actually check for UID 0 and not for
pw_name of "root".

The tool may think that it has succeeded, but for instance apt is
unhappy afterwards:

root@hurd:/# apt install -f
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... failed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hurd : Depends: xkb-data but it is not installable
        Recommends: bf-utf-source but it is not installable
 libx11-6 : Depends: libx11-data but it is not installable
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
