Both DBD::InterBase and DBD::Firebird now available, both from private
forks with some fixes sprinkled on top:
https://github.com/dbsrgits/perl-dbd-interbase/commits/master
https://github.com/dbsrgits/perl-dbd-firebird-5.8/commits/master

There are still some issues with the server not configuring itself
correctly *sometimes*. Someone with more apt-fu can certainly help to
make it more robust (problem at [1]).

This concludes my dicking around with travis for this week, Oracle and
Sybase will come sometime later (feel free to beat me to it).

Cheers, and sorry for the noise earlier
