After discussing this with vorlon on IRC:

The system never continues to boot; at least I've waited >10 minutes, and it
doesn't. So it's a hang, and would normally be an RC-bug.

However, this only occurs with a patched mount (as current mount in sid
cannot handle NFSv4 mounts), so currently it isn't RC; there's a wishlist bug
against mount (#236435) requesting this, though, so mount in sid might
suddenly support NFSv4, thus upgrading this bug.

Supporting GSS/KRB5 authenticated mounts in sarge will require a lot of ugly
stuff; most importantly, rpc.gssd lives in /usr, and so does libkrb53. This
will (if I've understood vorlon correctly) not happen for sarge.

The most sane solution I can see (given that we actually want to support
NFSv4 _without_ GSS in sarge) would be that S45mountnfs.sh checked each
and every nfs4 mount for "sec=" in the options, and refused to mount those.
This would probably be more difficult than the "mount -a -tnfs4" currently
done, though, and I don't know what's the best way for mounting the sec=
mounts later...
