Bastian, thank you both for your patience and persistence.

It would be best if you make sure the ports appear in upstream CVS 
first. Otherwise once they implement them with a different 
implementation IDs, the databases created with "official" firebird 
engine will not be openable on Debian on the same architecture and 
vice versa.

As long as I see, they have s390x (for the upcoming 2.5 release) using 
implementation ID of 78 (your patch has 79) and no implementation ID 
for s390 (your patch has 78). 

How different are s390 and s390x? Are the pointer sizes different or 
native integers or alignment rules? Is the s390x port enough for 
Debian?

You may want to see 
http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-2559?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:cvs-tabpanel 
for the upstream bug report about s390x.
Their CVS is browsable at 
http://firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/firebird/firebird2/

Lastly, if you are interested in co-maintaining Firebird, help is much 
appreciated :)
