Well, my solution gives a working path at least, with everything working by default if you apt-get install roundcube-sqlite. You can always leave the package unconfigured (but still with installation completed) if running in non-interactive and roundcube-mysql installed, and until user does a dpkg-reconfigure. > This database choice question is a high priority question and > policy allows to abort if there is no sensible default possible. > This is the case.

No, the policy allows you to have a non-working package until it is properly configured (in which case, I would advise to deny access to roundcube with an error message when someone tries to browse it). But the policy doesn't allow you to have a *broken* postinst that fails if not configured. In other words, you are allowed to install your package even if it wont work as-is, without the administrator intervention. But not to break dpkg/apt in the process!
