Please, could we discuss the issue before you close it?

No you can't, because xinetd diverts openbsd-inetd's binary. Further, I
think firebird has a duty to work with the standard inetd at least, and
xinetd optionally.
I doubt that even 1% of Debian users care to switch from openbsd-inetd
to one of the others. Especially since xinetd does not seem to be in
good shape.

How about a wrapper script? That will work for any inetd.
Can you show me how any environment is being created by /etc/xinetd.d/firebird20
anyway? I don't see any mention of environment variable.
