Cool as well, although as shared before, it would be a good idea to have
two solutions for the same thing. We could test one more than the other
(the primary solution) but always have a backup solution just in case.

It is packaged as well, just as much as others above are. The only issue
might be that there may be a newer version that isn't in Debian, other
than that we have it all.
I haven't installed it but it's there in Debian alight, although in
testing and sid/unstable.

Think not so much to do except if a new version comes, in which case
package it helping Debian in it. Would need to keep on any serious bugs
on apache and any of the other php utils, libraries as well as tinymce+
roundcube itself.
Would definitely need a dev. or at least somebody who has love for it
for sure.
