Yes, the package does depend on it, and as noted in the announcement it depends
specifically on python36.

So, people who configure fetchmail with the man page and have never used
fetchmailconf should get in the habit of ignoring package requirements?
Not sure
how good that is.
When I look at the fetchmail website, https://www.fetchmail.info/,
I see that it lists https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/ as a project
page, but with sources on https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail/ .
I see no mention of python being required on its info page, though I see
it mentioned on the sourceforge site.
Oh please, it isn't all that hard to figure out that fetchmailconf is
implemented in Python.
Oh please yourself! :^)
I've never used fetchmailconf in using fetchmail. fetchmail doesn't
require python -- a special "fetchmailconf" requires it, which wasn't
part of fetchmail when I started using it -- for that matter it still isn't
part of my linux distro's fetchmail.
I read the manpage and edited .fetchmailrc in my home directory.
I started using fetchmail before fetchmailconf was around, AFAIK.
Maybe putting fetchmailconf in its own package would be appropriate?
