Correction: it is mountnfs-bootclean.sh, not mountall-bootclean.sh.
Since mountnfs-bootclean.sh has to be run after portmap, the only way
out seems to add portmap.pid to the list of files that are not to be
deleted.  I've patched /lib/init/bootclean.sh and filed #491059 for
that.

I've submitted a patch for that as well.
