I would consider installing the amd package and editing auto.misc to add
automounting of /misc/debian. This results in the automatic NFS mounting
of /misc/debian whenever it is referenced. After a while if not being
used, it wil be auto-unmounted.
Install amd on all the network machines and reference the proper path on
the nfs server in each of the auto.misc files or distribute auto.misc via
NIS.
