Description of problem:
The /etc/init.d/autofs script looks for the -g or --ghost options in
the wrong variable.  It look in $options which is for mount options. 
It should look in $DAEMONOPTIONS.

i.e., it should be

        # Check for the ghost option
        if echo "$DAEMONOPTIONS" | grep -qE -- '\B-(g\b|-ghost\b)' ;
        then
            startupoptions="$startupoptions --ghost"
        fi

 --or--

        # Check for the ghost option
        if echo "$DAEMONOPTIONS $options" | \
                                grep -qE -- '\B-(g\b|-ghost\b)' ;
        then
            startupoptions="$startupoptions --ghost"
        fi
