According ...

https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/nfs-common.NEWS?ref_type=heads

i understand there is now one new configuration file , Ok.

But, for daemon rpcbind, it seems that previous old configuration file 
is still valid, because ...

ansible@vn-nfs-110:~$ uname -a
Linux vn-nfs-110 6.12.30+bpo-armmp-lpae #1 SMP Debian 6.12.30-1~bpo12+1 
(2025-06-14) armv7l GNU/Linux
ansible@vn-nfs-110:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
13.0
ansible@vn-nfs-110:~$ dpkg -L rpcbind |grep etc
/etc
/etc/default
/etc/default/rpcbind
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/rpcbind
/etc/insserv.conf.d
/etc/insserv.conf.d/rpcbind
ansible@vn-nfs-110:~$

So please, could you confirm that new configuration file /etc/nfs.conf 
is not used for this daemon ?
