Yes, I've thrown together .deb's, which you should be able to get via
apt from http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/debian.  I'm happy to
maintain them but need a debian developer to sponsor.

I sent Chip a number of messages about this, and he was cc:'d on some
messages about this to debian-mentors, so I'm a little suprised that
this is news.  Chip, am I getting lost in some spam filter or something?

Yes, I don't see any reason to unmount.--b.
