The freeze for Debian 3.0 is described in Anthony Towns' mail to
debian-devel-announce on 1 July: 

    http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0106/msg00014.html

but that only affects base packages so far.  Python is included in the
freeze of "standard" packages, so Python 2.1.1 must be done by the end
of August; see the end of:

    http://lists.debian.org/debian-python-0107/msg00041.html

fetchmail is "optional" priority, so they'll be time to get a new
version into Debian after Python is done.
