Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:2.8.3-1
Severity: grave
Dear mainteners,
In order to increase (a little !) security, and as defined into
http://wiki.debian.org/SecuringNFS, it is a good practice to defined one
static port for nfs-stad daemon.
This feature is available in the man. Furthermore, it is implemented
into /etc/default/nfs-common into variable STATDOPTS.
But is seems that /etc/init/nfs-common script has forgotten to use this
variable when launching daemon. As a result it is not possible to change
ANY option available for this daemon.
On debian bookwoorm, it works.

This change was already announced in bookworm:
nfs-utils (1:2.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
On systems running systemd, changes to command-line options in
/etc/default/nfs-common or /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server will now
be ignored. All those options can instead be set in /etc/nfs.conf
or /etc/nfs.conf.d/; see nfs.conf(5).
If either of the files in /etc/default has been changed, the
command-line options will be converted on upgrade to the file
/etc/nfs.conf.d/local.conf.
A future update to nfs-utils will remove the command-line options
in /etc/default entirely, so even on systems not using systemd
you should make changes in /etc/nfs.conf.d/ instead.
