OK, tomorrow is now ;-) (the option added)
The problem is that this is not commonly usable solution, because it
very significantly affects the way how libmount search in fstab,
mountinfo etc. The option disallow to reliable compare symlinks, tags etc.
It would be better to have NFS specific solution, or in the
update/install script use --types nonfs and when only if not found
required directories try fallback solution with --nocanonicalize or
so.
