While I do understand that this can easily be confusing...
... The (Debian!) nfs-common package is built from the nfs-utils source.
We ship the upstream manpages and there is no "nfs-common" in the
upstream world. Splitting nfs-utils apart in different parts is
a Debian thing. Please see:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nfs-utils

Thus such a patch would not be useful upstream and maintaining it
downstream is not in my interest.

Potentially there's room for making the wording less confusing in a
Debian context upstream, like eg. using "suite" instead of "package".
Please feel free to submit a patch to upstream! If you're not
familiar with the procedure please feel free to ask me for guidance.
