Yes, this fixes the issue. BTW, I am not sure who else to ask about this, but https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539201 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738063 are somewhat related. There are a lot of problems with the systemd migration, and none of them are getting fixed. They're mostly related to nfs-common being disabled in systemd, and partly due to stuff missing in /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server If a user is expecting any of the following (due to their old configuration in /etc/default): enable nfs v2 disable nfs v3 disable nfs v4 statd idmapd blkmap etc. their system will be utterly broken, since each has to be manually enabled via systemctl enable, and/or both /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server and /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server have to be patched. In short, nfs-kernel-server is broken with systemd and nobody seems to be addressing any of the issues. I think there needs to a be a single unifying bug that summarizes all of the current systemd/nfs issues so they can be addressed in a coherent, multilateral manner.
