Binary package hint: upstart
If one has /var (or /var/lib or /var/lib/nfs for that matter) on it's own filesystem the statd.conf start races with the mounting of /var as rpc.statd needs /var/lib/nfs to be available in order to work.
I am sure this is not the only occurrence of this type of problem.
A knee-jerk solution is to simply spin in statd.conf waiting for /var/lib/nfs to be available, but polling sucks, especially for something like upstart who's whole purpose is to be an event driven action manager.
