Why is it masked? I don't know the full story either, but I did note that there's also an /etc/init.d/nfs-common script (a rather substantial one, at that).

Why is it masked? My /guess/ is that it's because systemd doesn't need it: there's a systemd service for each component (imapd, gssd, … … ). However, if you don't run systemd, then all those services are started by an init.d script called nfs-common, turned on and off with /etc/default/. Cheers, David.
