Hence, this update loosens it, so that the update can be pulled in. For completeness we're including the original advisory text:
Thomas Wolff discovered that the fetchmailconf program which is provided as part of fetchmail, an SSL enabled POP3, APOP, IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder, creates the new configuration in an insecure fashion that can lead to leaking passwords for mail accounts to local users.
This update also fixes a regression in the package for stable caused by the last security update.
For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.9.11-6.4 of fetchmail and in version 5.9.11-6.3 of fetchmail-ssl.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.5-12sarge3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.5.4-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your fetchmail package.");
