I didn't realize that this was considered unusual. AutoFs integration has been a critical part of our infrastructure across multiple departments at our university for decades, starting with NIS/NIS+. Without AutoFS integration we would be ... very, very sad.
I have filed a bug report w/ Debian and included a patch against Debian Sid's autofs-5.1.6 source package: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=968675 Since this is the same source file as Ubuntu 20.04 uses I've included the patch file for your use, on the off chance that it would make things easier (attached). Looking at the up-stream source from https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5/ it appears that version 5.1.2's autofs.schema file was correct. The typo first appears in 5.1.3, released in May 24th 2017, and has affected every release of autofs since. I have also submitted a bug report, including a patch file, to the [email protected] mailing list for the autofs developers.
