You should also take into consideration that Roundcube is a web application and depending on the package in question and options available, a backport is a reasonable solution, for the same reasons we have backported other packages before. Also the whole point of LTS is that you don't have to upgrade the entire system, especially if you run multiple different PHP applications on the same server. The order of options is still valid.
