Title:
  /etc/default/nfs-common has no default entry for NEED_IDMAPD

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu specific guides for NFS settup

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto

  ,as the older one, and

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo

  point the user to the nfs-common option

  NEED_IDMAPD

  , which is not incorporated by default in

  /etc/default/nfs-common

  --------------------------------

  Additional:

  This is a little bit obfuscating.

  --------------------------------

  Expected:

  
  It would be clearer to provide this option also in the config file, when the guides point to it. Also a short comment about the function and usage would be helpfull.

  [Or on the other hand to change the guides, but the option by itself
  looks usefull.]
