There is something I'm afraid I do not quite understand. I have downloaded
from debian the source files, within which fetchmail-5.3.3.orig.tar.gz.
Here is what we can read in the NEWS file :

----------------------fetchmail 5.3.3 NEWS------------------------------
[..]
fetchmail-5.3.1 (Sun Mar  5 23:02:42 EST 2000), 18648 lines:

[..]
* Fix Red Hat 6.2beta bug 9982: fetchmailconf now automatically pups up
  an edit panel whenever a new user or site is created.
* Fix Red Hat 6.2beta bug 9987: Deal gracefully with the possibility that
  we might be running as a subprocess with stdin not attached to a tty,
  and thus unable to query for a password.
* Resolved all current Debian bugs classed `important'; #43139, #44744, #44760,
  #44774, #43140, #50990.
* Resolved Debian ordinary bugs #17769, #34383, #38303, #39732, #51674,
  #53386, #53732, #58553.
* Resolved Debian wishlist bug #26630.
* Resolution of #59281 (still loops on Ctrl-C) involved a small change in
  behavior; SIGPIPE now terminates the current poll cycle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, it seems that all the bugs are solved. And that the debian maintainer
has done some job (I haven't tested the .deb now ; I was just wanting to
have a look and try to help). Am I missing something ?

Cheers,
