On debian 10 I had an error removing roundcubemail (sorry, I'm using a
german locale):

Entfernen von roundcubemail-core (1:1.4.13-0~kolab2) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/roundcubemail-core.prerm: 11: /var/lib/dpkg/info/roundcubemail-core.prerm: reload_apache: not found
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes roundcubemail-core (--remove):
 »installiertes roundcubemail-core-Skript des Paketes pre-removal«-Unterprozess gab den Fehlerwert 127 zurück
dpkg: roundcubemail-plugin-kolab-notes: Abhängigkeitsprobleme, wird aber wie gefordert dennoch entfernt:
 roundcubemail-plugins-kolab hängt ab von roundcubemail-plugin-kolab-notes; aber:
  Paket roundcubemail-plugin-kolab-notes soll entfernt werden.

The error was - I removed the call and proceeded:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/roundcubemail-core.prerm: 11: /var/lib/dpkg/info/roundcubemail-core.prerm: reload_apache: not found

After that I sould run »apt --fix-broken install«, but there are some
missing dependencies:

                               Depends: roundcubemail-plugin-tasklist

Debian packages can replace/provide package(name)s - may be a solution,
Or the packages should depend on roundcubemail instead of the
roundcubemail-plugin-* packages.

Thanks for working on the package updates.

Jochen

PS: Something other happens on my frankenstein webmail with
kolab/roundcube on Debian 11. I've removed all plugin-packages there and
left only the plain roundcubemail package (which works ok for
mail-only). With the new packages I get (not really unexpected - php on
debian 11 is newer):

root at styx:~# LANG=C apt -s install roundcubemail
