Yes, but if you have fetchmail-ssl installed and not fetchmail, an upgrade will not install fetchmail. It might result in fetchmail-ssl being removed (since the new fetchmail-common doesn't provide the version it needs), but unless some other part of the system depends on fetchmail, you won't end up with fetchmail installed.
