[Pkg-roundcube-maintainers] Bug#547586: installation breaks /etc/roundcube/debian-db.php

Package: roundcube
Version: 0.2.2-1
Severity: important

After upgrading roundcube from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2, I tried to log in but was greeted with this error:

 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*' in /etc/roundcube/debian-db.php on line 20

Upon examining /etc/roundcube/debian-db.php, I found that it had the following warning message from ucf appended, just after the "$dbtype='mysql';" line:

*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but
             the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
             script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf,
             and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to using
             old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!

             Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.

The following is the transcript of the installation. As you can see, the ucf message shown above is also reported there, presumably caused by the update of /etc/roundcube/main.inc.php:
