Bug Description

Debian is still carrying the old unused /etc/default/nfs-* configuration files, due to their need to still support SySV systems. In a systemd system, those files are completely ignored, and generate confusion for users.

We should either remove them (potentially introducing delta with debian), or add a remark saying the files are no longer used, or something like that.

more than just removing them, it's important to migrate any configuration on upgrade.

I, too, lost ability to mount SunOS 4.1.4 nfs files after upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04.

@jferg977 do you have the nfs kernel module loaded? `sudo modprobe nfs` might fix this for you.
