There are some reports, but they aren't easy to follow.
#830777 is already fixed by the added keyutils dependency.
#748074 is related, but also affects the server side. It also discusses
an ordering cycle between the units.
The Pipefs-Directory setting in /etc/idmapd.conf (which isn't a
conffile) had to be changed manually after the wheezy -> squeeze
upgrade.
/etc/default/nfs-common says the NEED_ options are autodetected, but
they aren't anymore in squeeze. (AFAIK upstream split up the service
files, which makes sense.)
The grace interval should be easily configurable in
/etc/default/nfs-common (#601335, but the grace time must also be set).

I've had one crash since the jessie upgrade, but I haven't got the
console ouput for that.

I hope the NFS developers give some input.
