No no, sorry for misleading you, the files *are* included in the
package, see `dpkg-deb -c /path/to/roundcube-core_1.4.11+dfsg.1-4_all.deb`.

There is no guaranty that we ship exact copies of what's found in
upstream releases, either: for instance we generate the .min.js files
ourselves, and have a handful of Debian-specific modifications on other
files.

I suggested GitHub as an easy way for you to get a copy of the file we
ship in our package, but it *only* works because we happen to ship the
*same* file (that's why I checked the digest earlier).  A reliable way
for arbitrary files/packages is to extract the content of the .deb:

   dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile /path/to/roundcube-core_1.4.11+dfsg.1-4_all.deb \
   | tar -xOf- ./usr/share/roundcube/program/js/app.js

or if you want to replace the existing version:

   dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile /path/to/roundcube-core_1.4.11+dfsg.1-4_all.deb \
   | tar -C/ -xf- ./usr/share/roundcube/program/js/app.js

But for *that file* downloading from the upstream repository is a valid
option and I thought it was also easier :-)
