Sure if there's no easy fix on the horizon, we can remove libnfs
support temporarily.

Can we just keep the old libnfs indefinitely? Are there any killer features for dependencies other than QEMU?

Paolo

The upgrade path won't be smooth because it'll leave an orphan
qemu-block-nfs package which will stop smooth upgrades -- it'll either
have to be removed manually by the user, or we'd have to take steps to
provides/obsoletes it which we'd later have to revert.
