Did you look? Read your auto.master files on both boxes, and the files
to which they refer. You should probably also examine the /etc/fstab
files on both machines; it really sounds like the Debian /etc/fstab
has entries for your NFS mounts (which would explain why they're always
mounted--they were mounted at boot, not under automount).
