I would suggest b); reducing the "standard" set of packages seems like a feature, it won't break upgrades (if installed, the package will stay installed), and new installs don't need to get nfs-kernel-server as part of the *default* install. If someone wants to run an nfs server, they can install an nfs server package, either nfs-kernel-server or nfs-user-server (no good reason to prefer one to the other). - Josh Triplett
