Bug Description

[Impact]
* the check-rpc and check-nfs commands are broken in nagios-plugins on 12.04 because the path to rpcinfo is not correct. Once the package is installed, you must adjust /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/utils.pm to use the correct path, but this is overwritten on upgrades

[Test Case]
$ sudo apt-get install nagios-plugins-standard rpcbind

With old version:
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rpc -H '127.0.0.1' -C portmap
Can't fork for rpcinfo: No such file or directory

With new version and corrected path:
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rpc -H '127.0.0.1' -C portmap
OK: RPC program portmap version 2 version 3 version 4 udp running

[Regression Potential]
* The regression potential is very low-- there are no code changes and the only change is adjusting the path to a binary. The path is currently wrong so functionality cannot regress on this point.

[Other Info]
* this is already fixed in Ubuntu 13.10
* Note: the nagios server needs to be restarted (a reload is not enough) for this change to take effect with a configured nagios server

To be more specific, the test case passes I am able to use check-nfs within my nagios configuration.

* debian/rules: use --with-rpcinfo-command="/usr/sbin/rpcinfo" so check-rpc
and check-nfs work properly (LP: #1189647)
