I intend to remove support in the init scripts for setting command line
options through these config files, and to update the default config
accordingly.  However, the config files will still be needed by the
init scripts to control which daemons are started.

Will that address your concerns?

Ben.

Bug#1011089: nfs-utils: old configs /etc/default/nfs-* should have warnings

Package: nfs-utils
Version: 1:2.6.1-2
Severity: Normal

Dear Maintainer,

the config files in /etc/default/nfs-* should have a warning at the
top stating that they are left there only for SySV systems that do not
use systemd. In other words, they are ignored when systemd is used,
and the configuration should be done in /etc/nfs.conf in that case.
Otherwise users might get confused because changes they make to those
files are not reflected in the actual services.

Alternatively, but probably not feasible for Debian yet, is to remove
/etc/default/nfs-* entirely.
