@All:

Did anyone tried to install now nfs-common (in lucid with the latest sru bugfix) in a chroot environment?

If so, did nobody see nfs-common failing in nfs-common.postinst?

Normally, in a chroot, starting services is disabled and/or not allowed (or in some cases the startup mechanism is somehow diverted to /bin/true or /bin/false whatever).
But now, nfs-common.postinst does an invoke.rc statd and this failes in a chroot environment which means, that the package in question is not configured properly.

The upstart dependency (started portmap ON_BOOT= or (local-filesystems and started portmap ON_BOOT=y)) doesn't apply inside a chroot.

One thing that needs to be done is, to not start the services during installation (which means removing all blind magic of dh_installinit) or whatever it takes to come back with the old behaviour.
