I would suggest b); reducing the "standard" set of packages seems

feature, it won't break upgrades (if installed, the package will stay

We're not talking about the NFS server, but of the NFS client. And a
working NFS client is surely something we want as part of the default
install.
If someone wants to run an nfs server, they
can install an nfs server package, either nfs-kernel-server or
nfs-user-server (no good reason to prefer one to the other).
nfs-user-server is deprecated. I think we shouldn't even ship it at
all.
I still use it on some real-world servers, but I can't now remember
why. I definitely found something which only worked with the
userland server. Wish I could remember what it was, but since the
machines in question are production servers, I'm not about to mess
with them to find out...
