Agree with Steinar. There are simple workrounds in most cases for Etch.
However the issues still need to be addressed in Lenny/Sid.
I can think of 2 solutions. One is to add an option to 'mount'.
similar in operation to _netdev, but with the ability to specify an
interface. Not too keen on this one as it affects more than Debian
based distributions.
Two, add a 'delay_nfsmount' or similar to the startup scripts. This
would have the effect of not calling mountnfs until the last auto
interface is brought up.
If there is some sensible way to acheive this through the current
if-pre-up.d or if-up.d mechanisms that can be documented, that would
also be acceptable.

Are you serious? It's an edge case that affects a tiny fraction of all users,
can by worked around in the majority of cases (simply mount NFS later in the
boot process, ie. from /etc/rc.local), does not corrupt any data and is very
hard to fix with a small change. I don't think it meets a single one of the
demands a stable update would normally require.
