> Bug#867200: fixed in firebird3.0 3.0.2.32703.ds4-5

The following change made the build non-deterministic again:

 firebird3.0 (3.0.2.32703.ds4-6) unstable; urgency=medium
 
   * Revert "Stop shipping employee.fdb in firebird3.0-examples"
   * Revert "stop trying to supply deterministic security3.fdb and employee.fdb
     in the package"
   * Ship employee sample database as a Firebird database backup (.fbk)
     Firebird backup files seem to be more deterministic compared to the raw
     database (provided you use faketime -- the backup contains timestamp
     of creation). See #867200

My local tests seemed to show that running gbak under faketime makes 
it use a deterministing timestamp for the backup, but this didn't work 
somehow for the r-b test. 
(https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/dbdtxt/unstable/amd64/firebird3.0_3.0.2.32703.ds4-7.diffoscope.txt)

So, reopening.
