No. It's documentation, not a config file.

You don't need to be sure of what they do to install them. If you want
to follow the LWQ directions, they're absolutely mandatory. If you
want to satisfy your curiosity about what they do, it's right there in
LWQ, specifically at:
http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#daemontools
http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#ucspi-tcp

You *could* do that, but if you think you *must*, you're mistaken.
You don't need to use qmail-users to allow normal users to receive
mail.

qmail-users is optional. *If* you want to use it, you'll need to
populate /var/qmail/users.
