You don't need nfsroot compiled into the kernel anymore for nfsroot-like
setups, instead you can mount the root filesystem via nfs from the
initrd-filesystem.
Look at fai >3.2 or directly at (the manpage of) update-initramfs to see how
it's done.
Another option is of course to build your own kernel packages with nfsroot
compiled in - but I seriously doubt you'll need this.
Therefore I tag this bug wontfix. It's also highly unlikely that a kernel
package, which just has nfsroot compiled in, will be accepted into Debian,
due to the high maintainance cost of security updates and because a workable
solution exists.
regards,
Holger
