I don't see the problem, like the last post shows it is 
described in README.Debian.gz howto handle this:
Fetchmail on a PPP link
-----------------------

By default, the system-wide fetchmail will start at boot, and will be
restarted when the PPP link is brought up. You, can however, configure
the system-wide fetchmail to *only* run when the PPP link is up (note
that this has no real advantage over running fetchmail all the time). To
do so, you must do four things:

  1. Turn of fetchmail at boot. Simply rename the S99fetchmail links in
     the /etc/rc?.d directories to K15fetchmail. For example:

    # cd /etc/rc2.d
    # mv S99fetchmail K15fetchmail

  2. Edit the ip-up script and change
     "[ -x /etc/init.d/fetchmail -a ! -x /sbin/resolvconf ]" to
     "[ -x /etc/init.d/fetchmail ]", and
     "try-restart" to "start"

  3. Edit the ip-down script and remove the "exit 0" line.

  4. Remove /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/fetchmail (or add an "exit 0"
     line at the beginning).

Note that both the init script and the fetchmail PPP scripts are conffiles,
so if you don't like the setup you just need to change them to your heart's
content. The changes will not be overwritten by a package upgrade without
your explicit consent.

Regards Nico
P.S. We are preparing a package for 6.3.1 at the moment.
