Having a look at the code, I think I'll move firebird.msg into an
arch-dependent package. Fiddling with B-trees is not my favourite :) The
mirror-space saving would be 50k per architecture, which is nothing and
the packaging will not become much more complex than it is now.

Actually, the packaging of 1.5.4 (in experimental) and 2.0.1 (in NEW)
put firebird.msg in firebirdX.Y-common, which is architecture-dependent.

This means that when firebrid1.5 and firebird2.0 enter sid, everything
will be fine.

Thank you, Daniel for your help. There's nothing that can be done for
firebird2 packages wrt sparc support, but Lenny will be more lucky. At
some point I plan to provide backports, but this is still in the
indeterminate future.
