Thanks for your report.

This file is not in the package, it is created when running horde
scipts or when surfing horde.

Surfing horde will create it as www-data. The scipts that I know also
run as www-data:
- http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-horde/horde3.git;a=blob;f=debian/cron.d;hb=debian-sid
- http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-horde/kronolith2.git;a=blob;f=debian/cron.d;hb=debian-sid

Can you check those files in /etc/cron.d if they match (#514528 was
fixed in kronolith 2.3.1-1)?
Have you any horde script which run as root?

As the parent directory /var/log/kolab-webclient is owned by
www-data:www-data with mode 0750, this is not a security problem: Only
www-data has access.*
