i agree that 3rd party packages should not be part of the core  
distribution. there might be licensing hiccups (such as the default phpBB  
theme) and they generally don't take advantage of liberty and thus have  
different searches, upload paths, etc.

i am not a database person and i don't know what breaks the firebird  
compatability. it might be useful if you could post a page on tp.o  
entailing all changes you have to make on a regular basis to get stuff  
working for you. it might help us code this thing in a firebird accepted  
way.
