It seems that dpkg will not replace a symbolic link by a directory. I
still need to investigate a bit on how to fix this.

There was a change in roundcube 0.5.1-1 which mangled the symlinks such
that a user should use /var/lib/roundcube as the base and be able to add
plugins. This was to fix bug #612553. I wasn't aware that dpkg had a
special handling for this.
