Hi
I also have to dissagree with Steve Langasek (vorlon). If you use a command wrongly I do not see why it should supress the errormessages. Please apply the patch or this modified version after you have tested it.

I would like it as a default option and not to override or add to the custom options.
I have not tested it yet, but it should be something like this:

--- /etc/init/portmap.conf (0.2.0-7ubuntu1) 2012-05-23 11:06:40.755992557 +1200
+++ /etc/init/portmap.conf 2012-05-23 11:43:56.813215443 +1200

        elif [ -f /etc/rpcbind.conf ]; then

        exec rpcbind $OPTIONS
 end script

Please apply some patch, it has gone almost a year now since first report and that is not so great I think. Thank you.
