What is your architecture?
(Just on the off chance...) Where you building as root?? (fakeroot 
doesn't like being run as root).
What does line 9 and line 533 of /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Changelog.pm say??
Had you created a MySQL DB and run the (RoundCube site).sql script 
before you started?
There are slight differences in some of the Control and Data files 
between Ubuntu and Debian Testing which sometimes require tweaking... if 
all else fails you could try building the package/s under Debian 
Testing, test and tweak, then install on Ubuntu... (just a thought).
