Now I've seen (and after Mark post) that binaries from firebird2-utils use
in super-server libfbclient.so1
and in classic-server libfbembed.so.1
So maybe we should make two sets (packages) with
utils for classic and super.
(Mark, what you think about it?)

I think (probably Greg too) that we should name FB 1.5 package
not firebird2 but simply firebird. Especially that firebird 1.5 is not
firebird 2,
just firebird 1.5. So when there will be firebird 3.1 we should make
firebird3?
And firebird 1.03 still have security bugs. So what for somebody would
want to use it?
Grzegorz? What you think about it?
