X-Debbugs-No-Ack: please
Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.8-10
Severity: wishlist

I discovered installing fetchmail also starts it.
I have START_DAEMON=yes in /etc/default/fetchmail, so I can use
"/etc/init.d/fetchmail start" when I please.

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

Just rely on the usual rcconf etc. start stop files.  stablish->establish.

  * On install time we try to determine from old version if start or not.

Perhaps detect if fetchmail is running and write a file in /tmp that
tells ourselves to start fetchmail again after installation.
