The phrase:
"This package provides a System Settings panel to configure network file-
sharing using NFS and Samba."
is wrong. It should be something along the lines of:
"This package provides a way to configure network file-sharing using NFS and
Samba in the properties dialogue of the file manager"
Ah, thank you, kdenetwork-filesharing does expand the properties dialog
of a directory, whether from Dolphin or Konqueror.
kdenetwork-filesharing provides what its description claims it does in
Squeeze, but no longer does in Wheezy. It seems the kcm was removed and
scrapped, although it used to provide much more advanced functionality
than the current plugin:

GUI: Removing nfs filesharing and old samba filesharing code.
I couldn't find any explanation for the removal.
And this is working.
As the files list suggests and as the commit message seems to confirm
(since it doesn't specify it refers to the *old* filesharing code for
NFS), there is nothing left to configure NFS.
FWIW, I apparently also couldn't get kdenetwork-filesharing to work -
that is actually get the machine to share a directory that can be seen
by an SMB client - but that shall be matter for a later report.
