[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#443327: Unable to specify polling interval in /etc/default/fetchmail

[Amaya]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.8-8
Severity: normal

Dear fetchmail maintainers,

I am trying to modify the default polling interval in daemon mode from
300 to 30 (or whatever). 
	
	~-root at nen> cat /etc/default/fetchmail 
	# This file will be used to declare some vars for fetchmail
	#
	# Uncomment the following if you don't want localized log
	# messages
	export LC_ALL=C

	# If you want to specify any additional OPTION to the start
	# scripts specify them here
	OPTIONS="-d 30"

	# Declare here if we want to start fetchmail. 'yes' or 'no'
	START_DAEMON=yes

Then I run 

	~-root at nen> /etc/init.d/fetchmail debug-run 

	/etc/init.d/fetchmail: Initiating debug run of system-wide fetchmail service...
	[...]
	/etc/init.d/fetchmail: RUNUSER is fetchmail
	/etc/init.d/fetchmail: OPTIONS would be -d 30 -f /etc/fetchmailrc --pidfile /var/run/fetchmail/fetchmail.pid -d 300 --syslog
	/etc/init.d/fetchmail: Starting service in nodetach mode, hit ^C
	(SIGINT/intr) to finish run...
	[...]
	fetchmail: sleeping at Thu Sep 20 20:31:32 2007 for 300 seconds
	
So the code in /etc/init.d/fetchmail is not correctly reading the
content of my $OPTIONS variable, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your time!
