Description:
In some cases (for example sss) the nfs-idmapd is needed to correctly perform reverse mapping of ids. However as it lacks Install section it cannot be enabled by systemctl enable (WAR is to manually symlink).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure krb5.conf-less sss
2. Try to mount NFSv4 share via gss
3. Observe as anything is mapped to nobody
This task depends upon

.service files without an [Install] section are meant to be started by other units, not by themselves.

Yes sure. In this case it is needed by nfs-client in a sense so either users need to be able enable it on their own (so it would be ment to be start on its own) or nfs-client need to have it in dependencies as it may be required.

This shouldn't be necessary the way nfs mounting is working nowadays.
