Hi,

Here's my proposal. Please say whether you find place for more improvements.


Package: libfbclient1
Description: Firebird client library
 Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL-92 features that
 runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers
 excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support
 for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in production systems,
 under a variety of names since 1981.
 .
 This package contains the client library required to connect to
 Firebird. It works with either firebird2-super-server or
 firebird2-classic-server, as well as commercial InterBase servers.
 .
 It uses TCP to connect to the server and is tread-safe.
 .
 For direct (non-TCP) database access, see libfbembed1.

Package: libfbembed1
Description: Firebird embedded client/server library
 Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL-92 features that
 runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers
 excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support
 for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in production systems,
 under a variety of names since 1981.
 .
 This package containst libfbembed1 - the embedded client/server library
 for Firebird.
 .
 It can work with remote Firebird servers (either super-server or classic)
 via TCP connections, in the same way libfbclient does.
 .
 Contrary to libfbclient1, libfbembed is not thread-safe.
 .
 When working with local database libfbembed works directly with the
 database file without the need of a separate server process. It needs a
 separate lock manager -- fb_lock_mgr -- that is in firebird2-classic-server
 package.
 .
 If you are in doubt, you most probably need libfbclient1, instead of this
 package.


thanks,
dam
