You may have seen these problems yourself?  You might see two instances
of rpc.statd running, and the kernel message on boot about nfsd already
running.  And shutdown is delayed for +90 seconds if all three of these
daemons are running.

start-stop-daemon is unable to generate pidfile for these because they
fork right after starting.

I've already tested this on a couple of systems, but could you perhaps
try it yourself and maybe upload to unstable?  Thank you very much.

After a couple of days I may ask the RT for an unblock.  At this point
there is no guarantee, but as it is such a trivial/annoying thing at
shutdown/reboot/upgrade I think it would be worth asking.
