I have came across this problem many times (and it is one of the few
things I dislike about packaged systems). Anyways, I have fixed this
problem two different ways:

- fetch the original Apache source for the same version of
Apache; configure suexec to your liking and then build
it with suxec support; then simply copy just the suexec binary and chmod
it to be setuid. (No need to install everything.)

- easier still is to actually edit the binary suexec file itself; I have
done this successfully a few times on different servers (different OSs) by
using sed; change the "/var/www" to "/home^@^@^@". The sed expression I
used last time was:
s/\/home\/httpd\/html/\/home^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@/
(where ^@ is ASCII 0, null).

Hope these ideas help. (Maybe there is now an easier Debian way?)
