Yes, this package looks like a terrible mess. The deb installer
thinks it is installing Firebird 2 but it's actually installing some
form of Firebird 1.5.3 - and some kind of 64-bit version, to boot
(there is NO 64-bit version of Fb 1.5.3). It is clearly using Fb
1.5.3 modules (the security database in Fb 2 is called security2.fdb).

Re-post this message to firebird-devel, providing details about where
you got this package. Hopefully someone involved with the Debian
packaging can put you straight.
