I did hit the same issue at work - autofs worked fine as I just installed the packages, then broke at soon as I rebooted. Yuck!
As noted earlier the main issue is that nis and autofs are both at priority 19 currently. Seems like we should at least start by moving nis to priority 18, since that will be required either way. Moving portmap to priority 17 seems like a good thing too but I would not mind as stongly about it getting done for etch or not. In my installation I just moved portmap to 17 and nis to 18 and got things working. This is what seemed the most natural fix to me (before I found out about this bug and even heard about portmap being started in rcS). Either way, I hope etch will at least move nis to priority 18.
