That's intentional, since some prefer remote database engines.  The
package has ‘Suggests: postgresql’ though.

That's suspicious, don't you unpack/configure as root?  Anyway per
Debian Policy §6.1 we don't have to add /sbin to the maintainer script.

Which Roundcube version?  Did you edit the postinst script?  Roundcube
1.4.13+dfsg.1-1~deb11u1 from Debian 11 doesn't use runuser(8) in
maintainer scripts.  As of debian/1.5.1+dfsg-1 from Debian sid the only
place where we use runuser(8) is as follows

    ${user:+runuser -u"$user" --} env DEBIAN_PKG=1 \
        php /usr/share/roundcube/bin/update.sh --version="$OLD_UPSTREAM_VERSION" --accept=true

and I don't see any conflict between runuser(8) options.  You may want
to ‘set -x’ that postinst to see what the above expands to.  Normally it
should be something like `runuser -uwww-data -- echo test` — does that
work for you?
