The postinst script has already a lot of that in it:

roundcube-core.postinst:dbc_generate_include_owner="root:www-data"
roundcube-core.postinst:dbc_dbfile_owner="www-data:www-data".

Could you confirm when you did upgrade roundcube? Is it before or after
the upgrade of dbconfig-common to 1.8.47+nmu2?
