Here's a list of failing packages with reasons for failure: https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/failed_packages.txt

And here's the overview on how many packages have successfully been built vs how many have failed: https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=hurd-i38...

The number of packages that can be built have been built; it is not a theoretical number.
