Hello Peng,
When I just tried searching the contents of packages at
http://packages.ubuntu.com, it showed that /etc/init.d/autofs was in
the autofs5 package.  When I run

$ apt-file list autofs5

I see that it installs man pages for autofs5.

If you don't have apt-file installed, you can install it with:

$ sudo aptitude install apt-file
$ sudo apt-file update

--wpd
