Wontfix ? Really ? Are you that much intent on killing sysvinit ?

Last time I checked, the Policy still required alternative init systems
to be supported by package maintainers. Since it's so easy to override
these settings with systemd (I'm not ironical here, I really don't know
how it's done), what harm would this patch do if it was applied to
satisfy sysvinit users ?

They would have at last the possibility of modifying rpcnfsdopts through
/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server, and thus reliably disable nfsv4, and
systemd users could still do the same through whatever facility systemd
provides and that I'm not aware of.
