OK, and they still conflict?

Well, all I can really provide is a useful test bed inside Debian. I doubt I
can get the kernel team to include NFS/IPv6-specific patches, but when it
comes to rpcbind, nfs-utils and the like, I'm sure we can work something out.
IOW, I don't think I can do much about the programming, but once stuff is
"80% there" we can at least provide an environment users can test stuff
relatively easy inside. (We already have quite good NFSv4 support
out-of-the-box.)
