Source: fetchmail
Version: 6.4.16-1
Severity: wishlist
We've implemented a POP3 autopkgtest for fetchmail, that you might want
to consider including for Debian:
https://git.launchpad.net/~bryce/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/commit/?id=d6e774e52d7b849a1043e54b46638023896e5d4b
It runs a mock POP3 mail server, then verifies fetchmail can get an
email from it.
I noticed as well that the upstream fetchmail code includes a few test
cases. I added a DEP8 for them too (via make check):
https://git.launchpad.net/~bryce/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/commit/?id=1deb68e705a23aa8c9bfa7d4942e1ff4191695e3
However, it might make more sense to run that as part of the build
process. (Admittedly, the test cases look pretty trivial so maybe
they're not worth bothing with. But maybe more will be added in the
future.)
We've added this to Ubuntu here:

If interested, some further discussion about both of these changes
happened on this MP review:

Thank you,
