[pkg-firebird-general] How can I help?

[Valdir Marcos]

Hi Damyan.

The ticket below is already resolved on FB 1.5.3.4870:
#150941: firebird-utils: Autocompletion and last commands used on ISQL
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=150941

Isn't this ticket resolved on FB 2.0?
#147500: firebird should support non-i386 arches
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=147500

Sincerely,

Valdir
