Wouldn't you do better installing and testing with the official project distro, so that you actually know what you're working with?  Ubuntu's stuff comes from Debian and Debian was calling Firebird 1.5 "Firebird 2" for a long time, possibly still is...

Firebird 1.5 (posing as Firebird 2) wouldn't pass any tests set up to test new language features in (the real) Firebird 2.0.

Just a thought...on the opposite side of the coin, at least you might be able to demonstrate how much up the creek the Debian/Firebird situation has been at defined points in its evolution. ;-)
