If you do accept the idea of having to change depending packages then I wouldn't do any compatibility hacks in libfbclient, and just deal with the issues in those depending packages (are there many?)
Actually, right now, there is only one I know about (not counting php5 which hits a different problem, trivial to both fix and work around). Unfortunately this package is libreoffice so that I'm afraid I wouldn't get away with simply breaking it and calling it Someone Else's Problem.
Well, if you don't want to change any depending packages, then you need to provide a fbembed.pc and an libfbembed.so file (the latter can be symlinked to libfbclient.so).
That might work in general. However, as I found yesterday, even after fixing libreoffice's configure.ac, one of its unit tests fails so this trick wouldn't help either and working around the issue in firebird packages is out of question even as a short term workaround.
