Let's ask the release team instead. Here my arguments why: nfs-utils
needs a major rehaul, this was not possible to finish in time for
bullseye, so this means nfs-utils is generally in not a very good
shape for bullseye,details in
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/merge_requests/3 .

I would rather not touch at this stage of the release for bullseye
nfs-utils anymore, instead we should try to rewamp asap after the
bullseye release so we can make sure nfs-utils is proper again for
bookworm.

Release team, do you want a fix this late still for #883194 ?
