hfsprogs is part of the unreleased distribution, so you have to adjust your
sources.list accordingly. I suggest to use the following sources.list:

https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/sources.list

It's part of unreleased because of the APSL license which Debian considers
non-free. I have already tried contacting Apple to get the license changed
to Apache, BSD or MIT, but I never heard back from them, unfortunately.

If anyone has better contacts inside Apple, let me know.
