I cannot reproduce this problem here - 

I'm successfully using NFS with and without autofs.

Could you please send the output produced by those 
following commands :

  ls -l /bin/mount* /sbin/mount.nfs*
  dpkg-divert --list /bin/mount
  dpkg -s mount loop-aes-utils nfs-common

Just guessing as to what the problem could be - 

If the mount package is an old version that predates 
the switch to using mount.nfs, it could be that the new
nfs-common was not automatically installed?

In any case, if you need nfs mounts urgently, you 
should be able to use mount.orig 10.0.0.5:/ .. until
we work out where this bug is caused.
