Package: rpcbind
Version: 0.2.0-4
Severity: important

As the rpc services started in nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server init scripts do 
NOT have a "Required-Start" setting that relates to rpcbind, insserv decides to 
start rpcbind AFTER the scripts that logically require it. Here's my setup:
S12nfs-common
S13nfs-kernel-server
S15rpcbind

This is obviously bad, for those nfs services depend on rpcbind.

My suggestion:
All init script that start rpc services already Require-Start the $portmap 
facility. Therefore I think that the easy (and clean!) way would be to install 
the following file as a part of the rpcbind package:

FILE: /etc/insserv.conf.d/rpcbind
CONTENTS: $portmap rpcbind

I've checked and it does not conflict with the $portmap settings in 
/etc/insserv.conf, only appends on them.
