One might want to use a remote database host instead; in that case
mariadb-server is not required, so it would be a superflous dependency.

Install roundcube-sqlite3 instead if you want to use a SQLite database.

You'll find a configuration snippet at /etc/apache2/conf-available/roundcube.conf .
There is a debconf question asking whether apache2 should be autoconfigured.
