You mean "override" files, like e.g. dpkg-scanpackages
uses? Sorry for my misunderstanding...

Yes, I agree. Anyway there's not much point in having

Tomasz or pkg-shadow team patches the code to add
Hurd-specific functionality there. Then it will still
have different cmdline options, behaviour etc...
