Bug description:
  nfs-utils has fallen FAR behind upstream, in both Debian and Ubuntu;
  we've had 1.3.4 since Bionic:

  $ rmadison -u debian nfs-utils
  nfs-utils  | 1:1.2.8-9     | oldoldstable   | source
  nfs-utils  | 1:1.3.4-2.1   | oldstable      | source

  nfs-utils  | 1:1.3.4-3     | unstable       | source
  nfs-utils  | 1:1.3.4-3     | unstable-debug | source
  $ rmadison nfs-utils
   nfs-utils | 1:1.2.5-3ubuntu3     | precise         | source

   nfs-utils | 1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12    | xenial          | source
   nfs-utils | 1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.2  | xenial-updates  | source
   nfs-utils | 1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5   | bionic          | source

   nfs-utils | 1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3   | focal           | source
   nfs-utils | 1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3   | groovy          | source

  Version 1.3.4 is from 2016, so we are 4 years behind upstream.

  https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs-utils/

  Debian has an 'upstream' branch:
  https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/tree/upstream

  as well as a WIP MR:
  https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/merge_requests/1

  and a newer WIP MR:
  https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/merge_requests/3

  
  Someone should get nfs-utils updated in Debian and Ubuntu.
