After playing around with the package, it seems that without the libtool archive files (*.la) the testsuite fails when trying to rpmbuild courier- imap.
It complains about not being able to find libcourierauth.so
Since Fedora packaging guidelines require .la files to be removed, I've gone with the ld.so.conf.d entry for now.

There are probably other kinds of configurations where make check will fail. Generally, I wouldn't expect 'make check' to work in anything but the stock, unpatched, configuration, with no options, except for the autoconf standard ones.

On that, I'll have to disagree with Fedora's guidelines. At least, I've yet to see a convincing argument for removing .la files. If anything, they should be installed by the -devel package.

The reviewer of the package for Fedora also wondered if we really needed to be installing the sysvinit script when we're using a system unit file. Since the init script is so simple, I've created a patch against the unit file to move all the functionality of the init script to the unit file. I think this may be a worthwhile change to add upstream, unless it is likely the init script will change again.

The init script is provided for platforms that do not use systemd. As is, the package provides startup scripts for both init and systemd platforms.
