I have tested the new Firebird 2.5 SuperClassic package on Debian sid and wrote the install instructions (Flamerobin and screenshots are included in the mini guide)
New version for flamerobin 0.9.3 is now in Debian experimental for testing
The list of changes can be seen in the testing needed thread from above or in the changelog list
Firebird 2.1.3 package is uploaded to Debian Unstable (Sid) and here is the list of package changes
* fix repack.sh invocation in watch file
* make executable
* New upstream release
+ drop patches released upstream
– cvs_CVE-2009-2620_DOS.patch was deleted (fixed upstream in 2.1.3)
– cvs_autogen.sh-autoreconf.patch
* refresh all patches to apply cleanly
* no longer regster QuickStart.pdf with doc-base; it was dropped upstream
* -classic.postinst: remove stray stop rc.d symlinks
What is interesting is to see the import diff vs the 2.1.2 package
