Sorry about that--I usually keep the box reasonably up to date with unstable 
but got distracted with other stuff and stopped upgrading it prior to the most 
recent pre-release freeze and changes to the NFS infrastructure. [On the 
bright side, aside from a couple NFS related lib problems, upgrading from a 
pre-squeeze unstable to the current unstable was painless. :) ]

I don't think /usr via NFS is really/properly supported, but since minimal 
support only requires that NFS infrastructure reside on the local HDD (i.e., 
/etc, /lib, /bin, /sbin, /var) it doesn't seem like something too onerous to 
ask for.
