So you happily can install a firebird-dev without even having a valid .so symlink for libfbembed thus breaking the build - you explcitly need Build-Depends: [...] firebird-dev, [...] libfbembed2.5, [...] which IMHO is bad. What is the reason that firebird-dev doesn't simply dpeend on it? It's small and it's a -dev package so people expect the stuff to work by just installing the -dev package. Not a extra package.
