[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#582475: fetchmail: init script should wait for DNS

Nice, thanks for the pointer.

Wouldn't it be better to have exim4 make itself a part of
$mail-transport-agent as described in the link above and fetchmail only
doing:

> +# Should-Start:      $mail-transport-agent $named
> +# Should-Stop:       $mail-transport-agent

Seems less redundant this way, and if no one has a reason to depend
explicitly on exim, it might make the "not widely implemented yet" go
away much faster.

regards,
