The summary is: "POSIX ACLs on the server side turn (more or less) into 
NFSv4 ACL on the client.", correct?  So our current ACL based system of 
permissions should work except that we can't modify permissions on the 
client side until I've deployed nfs4 acl tools ...

... which means you've possibly got your Debian packager, and I might even 
be able to do that on company time.

Ok, I guess I know in which direction to put my work now, thanks a lot.  
(nfs-iostat will be the first thing I'll try, though, to get some more 
data.)
