http://www=2Edebian=2Eorg/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys=2Ehtml#s9=2E1
but mainly in:
http://www=2Edebian=2Eorg/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/

tells you were files should be=2E

The firebird configure script "lies" about options it has for the
location of files try:

=2E/configure --help

after you have run =2E/autogen=2Esh

I tried to use it when building my version but the settings don't seem to
have any effect=2E Probably because interbase historically lived in /opt=2E=
 I
guess upstream should want to have this fixed too=2E

I don't know how to change build systems myself yet, so I can't give any
examples=2E
