I believe this is much better in the 1:2.5.4-1~exp5 where we follow
the upstream introduction of /etc/nfs.conf which has (commented)
settings for the default values for grace-time and lease-time.
We highly would appreciate if this version is tested, before we move
it to unstable, and make it ready for bookworm.
If you think the nfs.conf(5) manpage needs any further improvements,
can you submit those to upstream? We want in future to as less as
possible diverge in the nfs-utils package from upstream, which was as
well part of the cause we lacked behind upstream. In experimental we
now are on track again with upstream, but are not yet ready to move
the version into unstable/testing.
Regards,
Salvatore
