As an alternative hack/solution to this race (until it's resolved more elegantly within upstart), could we not simply spin in the statd.conf script waiting for /var/lib/nfs to be available?

This would be most interesting to do because, in fact, I believe that /var/lib/nfs not being available when statd.conf runs is not the only issue that is causing rpc.statd startup to fail. I see failures reported by upstart, during boot, even after /var is mounted.

Let me put such a spin lock in place and see how that goes.
