It's unfortunately relatively common to use autofs in conjunction with

Like you say, this is only a problem when changing runlevels after the
initial boot since portmap is also started from rcS.d but that's still
an issue and I don't want to introduce a something that's obviously a
regression in that case if I can avoid it.

The reason that this has come up is that there has already been a change
in autofs (and has been for much of the release cycle).
