[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#464549: cryptic comment in init.d script

[Frank S. Thomas]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.8-10
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

fetchmail's init.d script contains this "cryptic" comment:
> # This script will NOT start or stop fetchmail if the /etc/fetchmailrc file
> # does not exist or /etc/default/fetchmail is set to no.

It's not really clear what is meant by "/etc/default/fetchmail is set to no". 
Instead this comment should explicitly state that setting the START_DAEMON 
variable in /etc/default/fetchmail to no will result in the script not 
starting fetchmail. A possible patch is attached.

Cheers,
