As far as I can see, this is only a problem if fetchmail has been
misconfigured to have START_DAEMON=yes in /etc/default/fetchmail, but no
/etc/fetchmailrc created. This doesn't seem like a packaging bug to me:
if [ ! "x$START_DAEMON" = "xyes" -a ! "$1" = "status" ]; then
echo "Edit /etc/default/fetchmail to start/stop fetchmail"
exit 0
fi
