[Bug 350161] [NEW] getmail4 uses deprecated pyhton module

[Thomas Neumann]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: getmail4

getmail4 uses the deprecated "sets" module, which triggers a warning in
jaunty. Executing getmail produces the warning

/usr/share/getmail4/getmailcore/baseclasses.py:26: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  import sets

which is quite inconvenient when calling getmail from a cron job.
