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.

Thanks for your time and attention, hopefully someone can take over
the mess...
