I have never tried inside a chroot, but try this:

- Install firebird-s32-server version 1.0.2-2.
- Then update to 1.0.3-1

You'll see it works fine.

Then uninstall all firebird packages, and try installing 1.0.3-1: you'll 
see you have no /etc/init.d/firebird script after installation.

At least this worked for me for three times (three attempts).

Maybe there are some other influences on play, but I cannot say what. If 
you need any information about my system, please let me know.

No, I did not. I was just using official Debian mirrors.
