Hello Steve, or anyone else affected,

Accepted rpcbind into precise-proposed. The package will build now and
be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Bug description:
  On upgrade from natty to oneiric, the old nfs-common got left behind
  because apt didn't want to replace portmap with rpcbind.

  I don't know why this is.  Maybe it has to do with the old portmap
  being Priority: standard, and rpcbind being Priority: optional?
