I see no problems with bin, lib and include directories.
readme(s), help and examples may go to /usr/share/doc/firebird.
misc appears unneeded for such kind of installation.
firebird.log may safely go to default log directory, /var/log.

but anyway we need private directory for UDF, intl, lock-files, firebird.msg
and security.fdb.
