Hi

- From the lintian overrides in firebird2.5-common-doc:
"""
# The sole purpose of this package is indeed to only hold changelogs
# and copyright. All other firebird2.5 binary packages have their doc directory
# symlinked to -common-doc
firebird2.5-common-doc: empty-binary-package

# Heh, providing an override no longer qualifies this as an empty package so we
# have another warning to override
firebird2.5-common-doc: unused-override
"""

Lintian has a number of "keywords"/regexes that decides whether this is supposed
to be an empty package[1].  With a bit of rewroting of your description you may
be able to avoid all of these lintian overrides (probably "dependency package").
  Alternatively, feel free to request a new "keyword" that would make sense here
(just file a bug against lintian).
