I question whether it's correct to dismiss this as invalid on the basis that this is a minimal image. In general, my expectation is that the minimal image is a suitable base for deploying any of the software in Ubuntu, it's just a smaller starting point.

And the purpose of having a separate KVM kernel flavor is to provide the best kernel for booting in VMs, excluding hardware-specific drivers that are necessarily irrelevant when running on a reasonably-configured VM.

It does not obviously follow from either of these points that the nfsd driver should be excluded from the KVM kernel. It's as reasonable to run an nfs server in a VM as it is anywhere else. And installing the nfs-server package in a minimal VM shouldn't fail with obscure errors.
