[Bug 1179980] [NEW] nfs-common: gssd upstart config does not permit usage of startup options

[Christopher Odenbach]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Version: Quantal
Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.2.6-3ubuntu2

Problem:
The upstart init config for gssd does not permit any command line options to gssd. There are however some very important options for gssd which should be configurable in /etc/default/nfs-common, using a variable RPCGSSDOPTS.

The following trivial patch fixes the problem:
