Comment 4 for bug 1614282

LP: #1566508 looks like it's been resolved, and LP: #1614248 appears still an issue in xenial but fixed in zesty and newer. LP: #1588915 is still open but seems to be an ifupdown bug rather than autofs itself, and has not been updated since 2017 and I'm not sure if it is still an issue on newer releases.

From what I understand, this bug report was filed due to the amalgamation of issues that made this use case malfunction. Given that it appears a number of improvements have been introduced since 16.04, and given that standard support for 16.04 has ended, I think we should consider this bug report resolved, and if there are remaining issues reproducible on newer Ubuntu releases, to have fresh new bug(s) filed for them. Meanwhile, thanks again for raising this issue with us.
