The --enable-nfsv4 option just builds and installs rpc.idmapd, which is
required for nfsv4.
This doesn't mean rpc.idmapd has to be run by default. But by
installing it, a distribution makes it convenient for users to try nfsv4
if they want.
The dependency on libnfsidmap should be easy to satisfy: you can get
the latest libnfsidmap tarball from
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/
which includes all the infrastructure to build a Debian package. Or
look at Steve Dickson's latest Fedora nfs-utils rpm's for another
example. (He just includes libnfsidmap with the Fedora rpm and links it
statically.)
