I'm not sure myself.  I can't recall the details offhand I'm afraid;
I've spent the intervening months dealing with RSI and haven't done any
work on this since then.

I was asked to test insserv from experimental, sometime before opening
this bug.  I found that the rpcbind LSB headers caused insserv to fail,
and this fixed things.  IIRC I discussed this with the insserv
maintainer but I could be wrong.  The reasons for this I'm not sure.
It may be there needed a corresponding change to nfs-common, but I
don't think that was the case.  During this period I couldn't even hold
the pages of a book open, let alone type properly, so it's possible
I've missed something.

Sorry I can't help more here.  I really can't recall the specifics, and
I'm not able to do more investigation at present due to my hands.

Roger
