[pkg-firebird-general] Bug#567948: firebird2.1-super: won't start due to missing /tmp/firebird/run

[Hamish Moffatt]

Package: firebird2.1-super
Version: 2.1.3.18185-0.ds1-6
Severity: normal

firebird2.1-super won't start until /tmp/firebird/run is created, which
it doesn't do itself. It appears to create /tmp/firebird but not the run
subdirectory.

Should that directory be in /var/run instead anyway?
