[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#406126: fetchmail daemon should not start in single mode

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.6~rc3-1
Severity: normal

When I boot my system in 'single' mode, the fetchmail daemon starts up.
This is not what I would expect; only the bare necessities should run
in single mode.

There is no link to /etc/init.d/fetchmail in /etc/rcS.d, which is good.

I strongly suspect the daemon gets started by the script installed in
/etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/fetchmail. I use resolvconf (1.37) 
which by default starts in 'single' mode.

Best regards,
Marco
