Package: kmod
Version: 9-1

It may be too early to call this a bug, but I figured I'd open one
anyway and ensure there's awareness of the potential.  With the advent
of individual modules for NFS v2 v3 and v4 clients (see commit
89d77c8fa8) the nfs4 as nfs alias shipped by the kmod Debian package
in /lib/modprobe.d/aliases.conf causes NFS v4 mounts to fail.  For v4
mounts to work, that alias needs to be removed.  Obviously this is
going to be problematic, and I don't know what the best solution is,
and things could still change by the time 3.6 ships.  There's already
a thread on linux-nfs that's started to discuss the problem
http://marc.info/?t=134403918000007 how they got all the way to -rc1
without having a plan of attack is baffling, but here we are...

If there's a way to take module vermagic into account, or even kernel
version, within the modprobe.d/*.conf files, I suppose that's one
potential answer.  Just changing the names of the NFS client modules
so they don't collide with the old alias might work too.
