* nfs-utils build-depends on libtirpc-dev, and isn't using the glibc
SunRPC headers except for <rpc/netdb.h>.  libtirpc's <rpc/rpcent.h>
specifically avoids declaring things that are also declared in glibc's
<rpc/netdb.h>.

* ntirpc is a different port of the SunRPC code, used by nfs-ganesha.

* nis and nfswatch really are using the glibc SunRPC headers.
