I believe this analysis is wrong.  NFS mounting is done by
/etc/network/ifup.d/mountnfs when an network interface is available,
and it will start portman and nfs-common if it decide it is required.
The relative starting order in in rcS.d/ do not matter much, as the
mounting can happen at any time after udev is started.

What exactly is the problem with GSSAPI auth and mounting?  Is it
still a problem with the latest version in experimental?

Happy hacking,
