Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.1.1-8
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/nfs-common

Hello, this version of /etc/init.d/nfs-common doesn't load the nfs and
nfs4 modules:

 nfs-utils (1:1.1.1-8) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * When starting idmapd or gssd, load the sunrpc module instead of the
     nfs/nfs4 modules; if the machine is server-only, it might not have
     nfs/nfs4 (which are client-side modules) available.
     (Closes: #449137)

The patch in #449137 being:

--- /etc/init.d/nfs-common-bak  2007-11-03 12:25:43.000000000 +0100

            then
                if [ "$NEED_IDMAPD" = yes ]

This causes all nfs4 (and possibly nfs mounts, but I don't have any of
these) to fail. The comment in /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs (The file
which actually mounts all nfs mounts in fstab) seems to indicate that 
nfs-common is responsible for loading the nfs4 modules:
"# Initialize nfs-common (which starts rpc.statd, rpc.gssd
 # and/or rpc.idmapd, and loads the right kernel modules if
 # applicable) if we use Kerberos and/or NFSv4 mounts."

Please revert the deletion of the do_modprobe nfs(4) calls. Missing
modules shouldn't cause the script to fail:
do_modprobe() {
    if [ -x /sbin/modprobe -a -f /proc/modules ]
    then
        modprobe -q "$1" || true
    fi
}

Best regards,
  Silvestre
