I absolutely agree with you. Especially considering the already convoluted 
nature of Debian's repositories, and the ever present discussion of "vanity" 
apps that are so prevelant as well. I see having an apt-get roundcoube could 
possibly even make installation of roundcube more confusing. I don't know if 
anyone else has tried installing web apps from the Debian repository, but its 
made much more complicated than it should be. Just some thoughts from a huge 
fan of roundmail, and even bigger whore for debian.
