Comment 26 for bug 119660

Since this still appears to be an issue on Trusty (14.04) and the Debian bugtracker notes that they're no longer tracking autofs in unstable, what happens to this bug?

And is it still the case that autofs (now version 5 in Trusty's repo's) doesn't use upstart? I'm going to try the solution presented in the bug description, but is that workaround still the most appropriate fix for what seems to be a pretty glaring ommision in autofs functionality?

How do corporates join their laptops to their network shares over WIFI reliably when autofs is effectively broken in this case?
