After some investigations, we discovered that roundcube 0.1.1 is
vulnerable to this XSS attack but is also vulnerable to many others,
even trivial ones.
We believe that we cannot fix those security issues with simple
patches. The best way to handle them would be to upgrade to 0.2 which is
not ready for unstable yet (and cannot run in Lenny because of missing
dependencies).
Therefore, it seems to be safer to just remove roundcube from Lenny.
