[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#406391: Creating the idfile in /etc/init.d/fetchmail is not useful anymore.

[Piotr Engelking]

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

/etc/init.d/fetchmail creates the idfile, with comment "create $UIDL if it
doesn't exist, because the daemon won't have the permission". This is no
longer useful, as since version 6.3 fetchmail doesn't write directly to the
idfile, but creates a new file in the same directory instead.
