Package: portmap
Version: 5-21
Severity: normal

Could you please move portmap earler in the startup sequence so that NIS
could start earlier?  As far as I can see portmap shouldn't depend on
other services so this should be safe.

There are long standing problems with the ordering of NIS vs. autofs:
autofs should start before S20 so other things running at S20 can access
automounted directories but autofs is traditionally used in conjunction
with NIS which runs at S19 (and can't run earlier due to needing
portmap which runs at S18).  During the Etch development process autofs
was changed to start at S19 but this now breaks use with NIS maps.

Filed with severity normal rather than wishlist since this will allow
resolution of problems in other packages.
