Some other points that I meant to mention:
1) The most recent Life with Qmail has instructions with /service based on
ucspi-tcp and daemontools, which I have done my best to follow. The qmailctl
script is provided in the Life with Qmail document for qmail-send,
qmail-smtpd, and qmail-pop3d.
2) The Life with qmail-ldap has the same installation recommendations about
installing ucspi-tcp and daemontools in Section 7. Installation.
3) However, Section 8.1.4 Startup Scripts recommends a set of scripts from
Tetsu Ushijima (qmail-conf). I don't understand whether it is best to work
with qmail-conf or to continue to build upon qmailctl.
Having already figured out qmailctl, I personally would rather stay with
qmailctl than to have to figure out qmail-conf in addition to qmailctl.
4) Section 8.3 IMAP says that courier-imap should be started using tcpserver
and auth_imap. The /service directly isn't specifically mentioned, but the
sentence "Your run file will look like this:" leads me to believe the run
script should be in a directory that will be linked to /service.
5) It is not clear to me whether it is recommended to add courier-imap to
the qmailctl script or if the qmail-conf method is required or preferred.
Confused!
