I had the idea in mind.

It's a upgrade:
> apt showpkg filesystem
Package: filesystem
Versions:
10.0-4.2
(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp4.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_10.0-i386_base_pkglist.update)
(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp4.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_10.0-i386_base_pkglist.security)
10.0-4
(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp4.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_10.0-i386_base_pkglist.base)
(/var/lib/rpm/Packages)

I don't know why it is needed, but someone in suse thought it is necessary... 
Hmm it is even a security update!


However, I can't imagine that I'm the only one running into this nfs 
permission problem.
