Can you check which ones the release team accepts as potentially to be
be fixed at this stage of the release, and then we really can aim to
take those.
nfs-utils is very in a bad shape in Debian, and the aim is now to
quickly after the bullseye release try to catch up finally with
upstream (once this is done the task is more easy, but the amount of
divergence now made it impossible to fnish up
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/merge_requests/3).
And the more Debian specific changes we apply the harder it becomes.
The latter really needs to be done, we have already too much breakage,
but it is not possibe for bullseye.
As it is maintainer under Debian kernel-team maintenance I really
would like to see that happen.
Salvatore
