The post install script of the autofs package creates the file /etc/auto.net.  This includes NFS mount options for mounting autofs volumes in the opts variable.  It includes the intr option which has been depreciated since kernel 2.6.25.  Although the current behaviour is for mount to print a warning and ignore the option, it probably should be remomved at this point.  It's probably an opertune moment to review the other default options and see if they are still the best options to use.
