Easy way to test:

1. Edit /etc/nfs.conf:

[svcgssd]
<email address hidden>

2. Try to run
  /usr/sbin/rpc.svcgssd -f (.deb version)
  This will fail even if you set a correct principal name
  that's present in /etc/krb5.keytab

3. Unpack nfs-utils sources and apply patch 02-nfs-utils-log-principal.patch.
   (This only adds an output of the principal set in the config)

   Then run:
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./support/nfsidmap/.libs ./utils/gssd/.libs/svcgssd -f

   The output shows some random principal string

4. Apply patch 01-nfs-utils-fix-conf.patch (patch will be in next comment, only one patch per comment) and compile again

   Run above test again:
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./support/nfsidmap/.libs ./utils/gssd/.libs/svcgssd -f

   This time the principal set by you should be shown.

As a side note: Patch #3 is only about adding some undocumented options.
