I forgot to mention: this should go on top of revert of the previous attempt to fix it, ie, after reverting commit a32744d4abae24572eff7269bc17895c41bd0085. The change does not break old API on which the workaround in the automount daemon relies since new sizeof(packet) will be dividable by 8 and hence the old workaround code in automount (compiled with new header) will not trigger.
