A backport of fetchyahoo is needed because old maverick/natty version (2.12.4-1) is not usable anymore due to recent Yahoo service changes.

The now present version of fetchyahoo in maverick and natty is not usable anymore due to recent changes in the Yahoo service.
A backport (and probably update) is needed so the package could be of any use.
I have built the latest upstream version in my ppa (for maverick only) and have tested it on maverick for almost a month and it works ok - https://launchpad.net/~phobosk/+archive/phobosk-ppa/
I am attaching the sources debdiff of fetchyahoo_2.12.4-1.dsc against fetchyahoo_2.14.0-1.dsc (considering the 2.14.0 will be added in maverick-backports)
There is another bug that depends on this one - bug #503954...
