Yup, this was added to systemd as nfs-server package did not have native
units. The correct thing is to ensure all the daemons are setup prior to
remote-fs-pre.target.

So the "correct" solution here is to put:

Before=remote-fs-pre.target

In the relevant nfs server units to ensure that NFS mount points are
properly mounted at boot.
