[pkg-firebird-general] Database file ownership in classic server

Hi,

    I found a difference between firebird2-super-server and 
firebird2-classic-server when you do a restore using gbak -c .

    While in the super server version the restored database belongs to 
firebird user and group, in the classic server version, the restored 
database belongs to the user who run gbak ( i.e. root ).

    That creates a problem when connecting to the database: the server 
complains because it has no write permission on the file.

    The obvious solution was to do chown firebird:firebird <database 
file name> after restoring, but should'n gbak take care of that, as in 
the super-server version ?
