Linux' autofs doesn't do included maps (+) and also doesn't do direct
maps (only indirect ones). In the repeated words of HPA, something like
"[this is a horribly designed Sun kludge and will never, ever, be
supported. Ever. Period. Full stop.]"
IMHO, this is a *really* poor decision from the perspective of
interoperability, but perhaps not from that of engineering.
In any case, it's not going to happen.
