Bug Description

Context:

Ubuntu 6.06 server.
I installed firebird2-classic-server and firebird2-utils-classic. gsec and gbak were unusable because they are linked to libfbclient1 and user didn't have rights to access database files directly. When I replaced firebird2-utils-classic with firebird2-utils-super everything worked fine.

Problem:

Insufficient information in descriptions of firebird2-utils-classic and firebird2-utils-super.
It wasn't mentioned in firebird utils' descriptions that:
1) firebird2-utils-super may be used with firebird2-classic-server
2) firebird2-utils-classic is built with libfbembed1
3) firebird2-utils-super is built with libfbclient1

Solution:

Update descriptions of firebird2-utils-classic and firebird2-utils-super, so the their difference
(utils-super work with the database files through the server, utils-classic work directly) is shown explicitly, mention the need for read/write permissions for user to access database file with utils-classic and recommendation _not_ to have permission if he/she uses utils-super.

It's not an issue for me, I use firebird for quite a long time. Someone
who is new to firebird can get stuck with it, hence the bugreport.
