Since util-linux 2.13 NFS mounts are no longer handled by util-linux
itself, but by nfs-utils. Since not all systems mount NFS shares and
to avoid a standard portmapper installation util-linux only Suggests:
nfs-common. If you need to mount NFS shares, make sure nfs-common
is installed on your system. The preinstallation script of the mount
package checks, whether NFS mounts exist and aborts if /usr/sbin/mount.nfs
from nfs-common is not present.
Cheers,
Moritz
