I think this is usually up to distros, and that's why you see FC RPMs vs SUSE RPMs. Sometimes you'll even have different ones for Debian and Ubutnu, even though they're related there can always be diffs as far as webroot, web user, web group, etc. Looks like the maintainer of the FreeBSD port is keeping up a bit too: http://www.freshports.org/mail/roundcube/ It's from Feb 19th, but it's not as old as it could be. As for pulling in all the dependencies, yeah, that's what makes apt-get, yum, portupgrade, emerge, apt-rpm so nice nowadays; having a base pkg allows all the dists to integrate with that.
