mount no longer supports nfs mounts directly, but rather requires
nfs-common to provide mount.nfs.  As such, lenny will need to have mount
Depend: nfs-common.  Having nfs-common either Recommend: portmap, or
portmap not configure by default would be the right way to go here.

The "fix" was to make it the correct version of nfs-common, and have
mount Depend: nfs-common, rather than util-linux.
