imho, instead of explicitly setting it to en, you should try to
determine what the current language is (and fail back to en if you
can't). this is somewhat related to the "debconf is not a registry"
dogma, where a debconf answer should usually be reflected by a
filesystem-based configuration option, which is then used to
preseed the debconf value before the config is run.

i'd say the code is probably small enough that if you're only doing this
for one package (assuming there aren't more roundcube-l10n-foo packages)
that it doesn't make sense to do anything super complicated and a simple
cut and paste ought to do.
