From the debian website we can read that :
"No new functionality is added to the stable release. Once a Debian
version is released and tagged `stable' it will only get security updates."
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-getting.en.html#s-updatestable
Here is the debian Changelog php5
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/php5/php5_5.2.0-8+etch1/changelog
The maintainer is Sean Finney may be we should try to send him a mail ?

The biggest issue is that the debian etch (now stable) distribution
spec's on php 5.2.0 which currently causes an incompatibility between
parts of Zend Framework and Debian.
We should encourage Debian should fix this. Perhaps pressure can be
put on them to raise the stable version. Specifically 5.2.2 or better ;)
I remember gentoo never supplied a 5.2.0 ebuild, only a 5.1.6 and a
5.2.1, perhaps there were too many issues with making 5.2.0 a
production build? I am not sure.

It looks like they have 5.2.3 in testing, I wonder when it will become
stable / production.
