[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#288063: Reopen? /etc/fetchmailrc contains passwords

[Jeremy S Bygott]

The Debian Policy Manual, version 3.6.1.1, section 3.10.1 says:

       Package maintainer scripts may prompt the user if
       necessary. Prompting should be done by communicating through a
       program, such as debconf, which conforms to the Debian
       Configuration management specification, version 2 or
       higher. Prompting the user by other means, such as by hand[7],
       is now deprecated.

So you might try that method? I guess it's partly to assist i18n. Is
it worth it?  Quite possibly, since it's a very popular package that's
likely to be around for a long time.
