Hi Neil, hi Steve,
In Debian for the update including the systemd/50-nfs.conf there was a
report that sunrpc is not included anymore in the initrd through the
initramfs-tools hooks.
The report is at https://bugs.debian.org/1022172
As we would not start to diverge again from nfs-utils upstream and
keep in sync with upstream as much as possible I would like to retain
whatever is from nfs-utils upstream downstream as well.
Marco d'Intri suggested there three possible solutions, of which one
could be done in nfs-utils (whereas the other two are either in kmod
upstream or initramfs-tools upstream). The nfs-utils one would be to
replace the modprobe configuration with a set of udev rules instead.
What do you think?
Regards,
Salvatore

I don't object to nfs-utils being changed to install an appropriate udev
rules file instead of the modprobe.d file. Would you be willing to
develop, test, and post a patch?
Thanks,

Thank you for this positive answer! Yes, I have asked affected persons
if they can help contribute to this and submit it upstream.
The specfic bug in Debian for nfs-utils in Debian is now
https://bugs.debian.org/1024082

I finally managed to work on it, and have posted the series at
