Then I do not see why you got the error message that complain about an
option you are no longer using.  It works for me.

Check your init scipt..
w3:/etc/init# tail -n11 portmap.conf
script
        if [ -e /run/rpcbind/portmap.xdr ] || [ -e /run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr ] ; 
then
                OPTIONS="-w"
        fi
        if [ -f /etc/default/rpcbind ]; then
                . /etc/default/rpcbind
        elif [ -f /etc/rpcbind.conf ]; then
                . /etc/rpcbind.conf
        fi
        exec rpcbind $OPTIONS
end script

w3:~# ps aux | grep rpcbi
root      1886  0.0  0.0  19208  1068 ?        Ss   08:11   0:00 rpcbind

To Steve Langasek how many are using and really need this warmstart compared to 
how many are getting this error message?
It is a nice feature if you often restart this service often on a file-server 
but far from everyone need to use warmstart and even less need to restart this 
service at all. If someone want this feature they can add it to the their 
configuration. Do not force it on everyone where it is not needed and also 
dispalys errors.

A better option is to just remove the -w in OPTIONS alltogether. No need
to make global changes for everyone in corner cases. Please, note it in
the NEWS and readme and upstream can fix this warmstart display issue
when they want to.
