FWIW, in my process of rewriting the rc* scripts I came across
quite a few of these extraneous messages/dependencies/etc. Improving this
situation is "on my list," but work has taken up much more of my time than
usual lately.

This is true, and it's a showstopper for the method you
describe. In general you should never increase dependencies in the startup
scripts if you can possibly avoid them. Far better is:
# Mount NFS filesystems.
if mount -d -a -t nfs; then
echo -n "Mounting NFS file systems"
mount -a -t nfs
echo .
fi
FWIW, I fully support this change and I'll send a pr if no one here picks
it up.
