roundcube assumes mysql during configuration

[Andrew Berry]

Binary package hint: roundcube

When you install the roundcube metapackage, by default it install roundcube-sqlite. This is fine, except the package configuration still asks for and creates a MySQL database. The roundcube metapackage either needs to install roundcube-mysql by default, or not create a MySQL database.

This is especially confusing when you intend to install roundcube-mysql.

Actually, I just installed roundcube-mysql, and dbconfig asked me what type of database to use. Either it didn't ask me before, or I missed it during configuration. So, if that's the case, then perhaps this is actually a dbconfig issue in that it should be smart enough to only show db types that are actually supported by the installing package.
