+ [Regression Potential]
+ The upstart jobs to get the proper daemons started up at boot have complex relationships, and have suffered from race conditions in the past. Although this change is small, it may slightly change previous behaviour. Of course, not having it work at all is worse than having a possible race condition, so this fix is unlikely to be any worse than the broken behaviour.

  Manually running mount -a mounts the drive as expected and hacking a
  mount -a command into mountall-net.conf makes my system function
  normally again. Trying to manually to killall -USR1 mountall does not
  work.

  [SRU Request]

  Due to a change in Upstart behaviour, the statd daemon no longer
  starts automatically at boot, resulting in nfs mounts not being
  mounted at boot.

  This has been corrected by modifying the statd upstart job to wait for
  the rpcbind job to start, instead of waiting for the compatibility
  portmap event.

  [Test Case]
  1- set up an NFS mount in /etc/fstab
  2- Reboot, notice the directory didn't get mounted
  3- Install update
  4- Reboot, notice the directory is mounted

  [Regression Potential]
  The upstart jobs to get the proper daemons started up at boot have complex relationships, and have suffered from race conditions in the past. Although this change is small, it may slightly change previous behaviour. Of course, not having it work at all is worse than having a possible race condition, so this fix is unlikely to be any worse than the broken behaviour.
