I can believe that upstart is the correct package, but
"FindRightPackage" would never lead me there.
The problem of making sure that remote filesystems are detached before
the network is shut down has been around in several guises for quite a
while.

Title:
stale nfs file handle blocks shutdown
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I'm running a fully updated Kubuntu 13.10 on a 64-bit Lenovo Z58
laptop. When I shut down, the shutdown process gets stuck with the
message "stale nfs file handle". The system just sits there
thereafter. I know what's going on but I don't know what to do about
it, and a system fix is clearly needed.
I have a mounted remote nfs file system. At shutdown, the network
shuts down and leaves the connection stranded before the file system
can be unmounted. This problem has been reported already in
connection with cifs but not, as far as I know, in connection with
nfs.
What's needed is a check of mounted file systems before the network is
shut down. Any remote file system, whether cifs or nfs, should then
be unmounted. Only after the unmount is confirmed can the shutdown
process continue. I don't have enough system knowledge to implement
this myself, or I would.
