Hi Neil, hi Steve,

In Debian for the update including the systemd/50-nfs.conf there was a
report that sunrpc is not included anymore in the initrd through the
initramfs-tools hooks. 

The report is at https://bugs.debian.org/1022172

As we would not start to diverge again from nfs-utils upstream and
keep in sync with upstream as much as possible I would like to retain
whatever is from nfs-utils upstream downstream as well.

Marco d'Intri suggested there three possible solutions, of which one
could be done in nfs-utils (whereas the other two are either in kmod
upstream or initramfs-tools upstream). The nfs-utils one would be to
replace the modprobe configuration with a set of udev rules instead.

What do you think?

I don't object to nfs-utils being changed to install an appropriate udev
rules file instead of the modprobe.d file.  Would you be willing to
develop, test, and post a patch?

I finally managed to work on it, and have posted the series at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20221125130725.1977606-1-carnil@debian.org/T/ (local)
