Correct. It was definitely changed since LWQ was written.

No need. LWQ doesn't require you to follow the new installation
recommendations.

It *wasn't* because you weren't running svscan on /service, because
LWQ doesn't use /service.

The end of 2.8 actually starts qmail. But you won't be mislead if you
follow the direction to read the entire section before doing an
installation.
