I don't think this was the idea; rather, the state needs to preserved if
rpcbind is restarted while the system is running (e.g. when the rpcbind
package is upgraded).

Since it is not really an error if the files do not exist (rpcbind will
perform a normal start instead of a warmstart), how about patching them
out?
