Depends on your definition of "simple" :)

You need to add URLs of unstable source distribution in
your /etc/apt/sources.list:

	deb-src http://your.mirror.here/debian sid main

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts fakeroot
$ apt-get source firebird2.0
$ cd firebird2.0-2.0.1.12855.ds1
$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
If it complains about missing build-dependencies, install them
$ dch -v '2.0.1.12855.ds1-7~~etch1' 'Home-made etch backport'
$ debuild -us -uc
... wait half an hour or so ...
The packages are in ../ Install them with "dpkg -i <package file>"

If you're stuck somewhere - ask here for help.
