Hi,

The new ifup script used to mount NFS filesystems does not mount any
filesystems anymore. The parent directory of the lockdir is not
available so the lockdir can not be created and the ifup scripts bails
out.

After I added the creation of /var/run/network to the ifup script it
worked again. (Maybe you could also add the directory to deb itself,
but I seem to remember that directories inside /var/run might not be
preserved during reboot so then the only option is adjustment of the
ifup script) 

I have attached my trivial patch. 

Greetings Arjan
