[Bug 1557015] [NEW] idmapd not started by systemd on nfs clients (xenial beta1)

[Sebastian Stark]

Public bug reported:

rpc.idmapd is not started on clients, but it should, especially if
explicitly enabled in /etc/default/nfs-common. The corresponding systemd
service appears as masked and its file
(/lib/systemd/system/idmapd.service) is linked to /dev/null.

This is a regression from the previous LTS version 14.04 and prevents
NFSv4 users from upgrading.

** Affects: nfs-utils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
