make: *** [configure-apache2-stamp] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2


Doing some investigating it looks like the configure script is still looking for libaries from firebird-dev even though armhf has been negated in the build-depends. The changelog of the package says "Don't build firebird extension on hurd, m68k, hppa, ppc64, armhf and powerpcspe (Closes: #651070)". However looking at bug 651070 it only seems to discuss hurd issues, it does not discuss any reasoning for disabling it on other architectures.

I haven't personally done a build test of php5 on armhf with firebird-dev installed (because it would take a bloody long time) but given that the previous version built fine I'd expect it to build successfully. Why did you attempt to disable the firebird extension on armhf in the first place?
