Yes, it is used standalone, and courier-authlib does not hurt that.
It merely facilitates people connecting to Courier or LDAP or MySQL or
something when they want to keep users in those places. This is useful,
and the inclusion of courier-authlib dependency is indeed intentional.
If you don't run maildrop as root, the -d option is practically useless,
as it has always been. If you don't need it, don't use it, and all is well.
I will keep the bug report open until I get a final say from the upstream
as far as the semantics of the -d option are concerned. Sam indicated to me
already that he doesn't think this is particularly hurtful.
Once the normal-user-using--d problem is resolved one way or another,
I'll close the bug report.
