Binary package for NFS client modules were there in the maemo 2.0, but
that packages was more or less dirty hack. I think it would be nice if
someone could write instructions how to create this kind of binary
packages.

I quickly checked and module-assistant might provide way to create these
binary module packages, but I didn't have time to play around with it to
test it really. Does anyone know if that could be the tool for this?
