Hi,
I just installed your firebird2-classic-server from standard debian apt 
service by this command:
aptitude install firebird2-classic-server firebird2-utils-classic 
firebird2-dev
The instalation was succesful, except that thing, the firebord does not 
start :-)
I found, that the /etc/init.d/firebird2 tests the presence and 
executability of the manager file (/usr/lib/firebird2/bin/fbmgr.bin), 
which is not present, so it exists. I think, the manager file is missing 
by mistake.

If I purge the classic server and install the super server (using the 
similar command), everything works normaly.

However, the init script exits with code 0, even if the manager file is 
not found or executable (evaluating this command: '[ -x $MANAGER ] || 
exit 0'). Exit code 0 usualy means "No errors", which is not true in 
this case. Package managers and many other programs read that code and 
bind consequent actions on it (I am sure you know it). I think, the init 
script should return a non-zero number, when there is some error.
