Possibly for jessie-backports, or left-over from squeeze?

PEAR::Net_LDAP2 resp. PEAR::Net_LDAP3 are not hard-requirement, but
“only” required for the ‘LDAP’ password driver resp. LDAP addressbook,
which are not hard.  Per §7.2 of the Debian Policy these are not Depends:

The bug to fix is tracked as https://bugs.debian.org/882938 (which is
not a Roundcube bug).  If/once this is fixed, php-net-ldap2 and
php-net-ldap3 should be able to enter testing again, and if that happens
early enough these package might be available in Bullseye.
