I think #952412 is likely best served by splitting the nfs packages
apart.  A nfsv4-only-common could omit the dependency on installing
rpcbind and disable all versions other than NFSv4.

This is actually a security issue.  Disabling all versions besides
NFSv4 reduces the number of open ports.  As such I don't think #952412
should be regarded as merely wishlist.

There is also a notable theme between #952412 and #1124299
