Ok, follow up questions:

 * Do you have an upstream reference to the state of rpc.svcgssd?

 * Can we provide both rpc.svcgssd and gssproxy in Debian (with the
   admin choosing) or is it an "xor"?

 * If this package is unblocked, are there any changes needed in
   nfs-common needed to support gssproxy?  (source upload, binNMU or
   "just works with no further changes")

Thanks,
~Niels
