But both should be required for any of the courier stuff to work,
right?  Maybe the package description for authlib should indicate that
authdaemon is what people should install (authlib being installed as a
dependency).

The package description for courier-maildrop indicates:

"This package is intended for use along with sqwebmail. Otherwise, use
the standalone maildrop package."

I only want Maildrop as a LDA for Dovecot

So I should contact Josip Rodin?  Is he on this list?

Thanks for the help.
