Please update nfs-utils libnfsidmap2, bug in PTS trackers outdate packages.



Dear maintainers, 

Will investgating nfsv4 (with kerberos) problems in noticed the following. 

The Debian Package Tracker site for nfs utils is unable to get te latest version. 
See: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nfs-utils 

The latest nfs-utils is now 2.2.1. 
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs-utils/2.2.1/ 
 

For libnfsidmap the same. 
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libnfsidmap latest shows 0.25. 
 
libnfsidmap 0.27 is already some time released and this one should help with the nfs v4 kerberised problems. 
For that one, i was able to create an new package, buildlogs can be found here. 1 lintian override 0 errors. 
https://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/Buildlogs/stretch-experimental/ 
 
These are available through my apt if you want to adapt them.
The package incl. source can be found here : 
https://apt.van-belle.nl/debian/pool/main/libn/libnfsidmap/ 


I e-mailed to both mainter adresses because the packages are related to one other for the nfsv4 setups. 
Now im having trouble getting nfs-utils 2.2.1 build, its (for me) a big change and im not a coder.

If someone could help out, then im able to test the nfsv4 kerberized mounted homedirs agains samba 4.6 and 4.7 
This worked but broke, and im unable to find out why/when it exact happend. 
It started in jessie, updated to stretch but that did not resolv it.
Im tracing this for months already and updateing nfs-utils to 2.2.1 may help a lot. 

Debian wiki about nfsv4 is outdated for debian stretch. 
If i can help out somewhere else, i'll do my best to help out. 
I can review bug reports and help out there something i also do for the samba maintainers. 

I really hope someone can help out here, because this will help lots of users since more and more preffer a secure nfs. 


Best regards,
