Option 2 isn't actually that hard to do - you can put a patch against the tarball in debian/patches and it'll get applied when the tarball is unrolled. However why is Apache build with expat? Surely either option 1 removes functionality or doesn't and if it doesn't then is there any reason not to choose it over linking expat dynamically? And if it does then Option 2 makes more sense.
