You are indeed correct. I've been hacking around customising and adding svcs to SFEsquid.spec and discovered the below mentioned problem after borrowing inspiration from SFEdovecot.spec.

I've removed the pre/post/un-install from the spec, there's none created in the package but the svc is still created. That's great!. It sure beats stuffing around with scripts.

and manually remove the svc with:
svccfg delete -f svc:/site:dovecot

To fix the package the dovecot.xml file needs fixing. I *THINK* it needs changing
from:

<service_bundle type='manifest' name='dovecot'>
  <service name='site' type='service' version='1'>

<instance name='dovecot' enabled='false'>

to:

<service_bundle type='manifest' name='SFEdovecot:dovecot'>
  <service name='site/dovecot' type='service' version='1'>

<instance name='default' enabled='false'>
