Autofs package is in the dependecies, but you have to configure it by yourself, if you want to browse NFS shares automatically. 
Please edit /etc/auto.master and uncomment this line:

You can add --timeout parameter (in this case there are no problem with unmounting shares which going down):
/net -hosts --timeout=60
Then restart autofs:
sudo service autofs restart
