Looks like there is an answer to this question at answers.ros.org that says,

Seems in melodic there are only realsense2 packages. If this is what you need, you can install it with:

sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-librealsense2 ros-melodic-realsense2-camera

Otherwise, if you really need realsense instead of realsense2, you could clone the repository, choosing the "indigo-devel" branch, and build it with catkin. Though in this case you would need to build and install the librealsense binaries manually.
