What I meant is that IIRC the PHP has a preference list for which file
to load (say [.min.css, .css] or just [.css] or just [.min.css]), and
uses the first one present as resource.  So if .min.css is not in that
preference list it's never gonna be served unless a dedicated rule is
added on the HTTPd which is arguably a regression.

Shipping pre-compressed (gzip, brotli, whatever) resources is not a
problem as long as the deflated version is also present: roundcube will
choose the later in the generated HTML, and as you wrote the HTTPd can
be configured to serve the pre-compressed version.
