Alright I've pushed up branches for nfs-utils and portmap that address this issue in natty. The open merge proposal for nfs-utils is dependent on the portmap package due to the new portmap-wait and portmap-boot upstart jobs.

I've tested this on a clean natty vm with and without sleeps inserted for fsck, portmap start, and statd start, and it all seems to work no matter the race.

Note that I was able to get around looping and polling for upstart jobs to start with the technique used in portmap-wait and statd-mounting. This seems to be a reliable way to allow waiting on a job that one did not trigger the start/stop for, and may be a good candidate for an upstart feature request.
