It's true that it might be necessary to make custom changes to the startup script, just like it's nearly always necessary to make changes to configuration files, post-install.
Because configure also does not allow
skipping of any packages (I'd skip web* and ldap*) and I haven't found any
mention of which files belong to which part of courier.
It makes me feel like courier is not suitable to be compiled by ourselves...
Well, of course I compile it myself. But compiling it by yourself is not mutually exclusive to using a canned build script. You can compile it yourself, but by running a build script. That's what I do, and everything gets compiled into individual packages; and I don't even install everything by myself, on my "production" machines.
INSTALL has recommended, for many years, finding pre-built packages that somebody else has already done. This is probably one of the more complicated packages; there are more moving pieces here than on the average.
There is a make command -- "make install-perms" -- that produces a list of all files, and what their installation permissions should be. Its used by my rpm packages, and also in the Debian build script as well. Although it does not explicitly mark which files should be in which package, it shouldn't be too difficult to have make install-perms do that as well; but there has never been a need to.
