init-script should call $0 restart, not $0 awaken

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.4-7
Severity: normal
The try-restart section in the init-script should call $0 restart, not
$0 awaken, because otherwise the resolvconf-script
/etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/fetchmail, which is called when the
ipaddress of the dns-server changes will have no effect, fetchmail will
still try to query the old dns-server, which is not reachable anymore.
The reason for this seems to be that the fetchmail-daemon does not
recognize new dns-servers when it is just awakened, it must be really
restarted. (So the cause for this is more or less an upstream problem.)
The problem was introduced with the fix for #268346 and i only noticed
it on my laptop, it allways occurs when the laptop switches to a
different network after coming out of suspend.
It might also be possible that #369270 is more or less the same problem,
because at least the symptoms are exactly the same.
Regards,
Thomas
