[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#402030: fetchmail: dependency on gettext is probably bogus

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.6~rc3-1

$ ldd /usr/bin/fetchmail
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/tls/libcrypt.so.1 (0x0ffb2000)
        libresolv.so.2 => /lib/tls/libresolv.so.2 (0x0ff7d000)
        libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0x0ff29000)
        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0x0fda1000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0fc2d000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0x0fc09000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x0fbd3000)
        /lib/ld.so.1 (0x30000000)

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but fetchmail does not use anything
in the gettext package at run time, so the dependency on gettext is
probably bogus and should be removed. In Debian, glibc already
provides the gettext functions for i18n programs.

Thanks.
