Hi all I was able to solve my problem by upgrading the bash package from bash 3.2-4 to 4.1-3.
The note I posted in the "bug report" is now gone from bash's man page, apparently with Bash 4 /dev/tcp is now supported on Debian. /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server works like a charm and I already have my first NFS export up and running. Please accept my apologies for submitting this bogus bug report and causing any unnecessary work.
