firebird2_1.5.2-8 ready for testing in Debian Unstable (aka sid)

I've prepared the next upload of firebird2-1.5.2.

Source and binary packages are in ftp://www.creditreform.bg/public/dists/sid/main

It would be nice if any of you wishes to help by installing/upgrading the packages.

All packages and the Release files are signed by me, so you can verify the
signatures with apt 0.6.

Revision history is available on
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-firebird/trunk/debian/?rev=0&sc=0

I'll wait a week for bugreports and then ask Francesco for an upload.

Changelog follows:
