Yes, but not completely unfortunately...

This works because you do a reinstall instead of starting from a clean
situation...

Indeed in 2 steps, one of which is solved in rpcbind, though it needs a
change in insserv too.

That does not work as the central config of insserv does not allow it,
it only allows portmap.
So the solution is to drop the portmap definition in insserv (like in
1.14.0-2.1) and to have rpcbind define portmap like I did after squeeze.
