Thinking a bit more. I propose to not create those 2 empty files. And
to write a README.Debian file mentioning the three ways to configure
Horde:
- 1. Installaing a bundle [1] (php-horde-webmail or -groupware) and
running the included script (webmail-install or groupware-), or
- 2. configuring thru the web interface +  download + chown root + chmod
- 3. creating those 2 files + chown ww-data + configuring thru the web interface

Mike, don't hesitate to directly commit to git.
