It would also be necessary to add adjust the dependency on rpcbind to
(>= 1.2.5), since earlier versions of rpcbind installed rpcinfo in
/usr/sbin.  And rpcbind would need a versioned Breaks on
nfs-{common,kernel-server}.

That's where it was before the rpcbind NMUs.  Certainly /usr/bin is a
more logical place for rpcinfo; the reason why it was put into /usr/sbin
is that libc-bin versions before 2.16 used to ship /usr/bin/rpcinfo.
See also #707589 on that topic.
