Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.4-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/doc/fetchmail/NEWS.Debian.gz

  * File /etc/default/fetchamil has been added to stablish if user wants to
    start fetchmail on boot or not.

Actually, the way /etc/init.d/fetchmail is written, it will not start
at all ever, without that line in /etc/default/fetchamil... nothing to
do with boot. So don't say "boot".

Also say establish, not stablish. Stablish is quaint.

Indeed, I just use rcconf. (Sorry for any problems caused in the
past.)  Wait, it seems fetchmail is not in rcconf.

Anyways, all I know is the way I turn fetchmail on and off only when I
connect ppp is in /etc/ppp/ip-*.d/fetchmail: /etc/init.d/fetchmail
start and stop, otherwise it is too complicated.
