There is already a patch for nfs-common.init in the following bug reports:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651558
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684416
More quotes:

So you can use the mount option "minorversion=1", like
mount -t nfs4 -o minorversion=1 ...
which isn't yet handled by the nfs-common initscript.
Maybe this information should be in README.Debian. This post is the only
reference I could find for the problem containing the solution and an
explanation.
