Oh, I completely realize that--And I didn't imply otherwise, this is why
I specifically mentions security updates; not software deficiencies or
feature enhancements. Anyway, the point was that most possible security
holes are closed in the version of PHP for Debian etch, despite it being
a lower version number.

This could be a problem as Debian Etch is at 5.2.0. I don't think
there
are any plans to upgrade pass that version until the next Debian
release
which at present has 5.2.6 in it.
That's disturbing, particularly as 5.2.0 had a number of flaws (which is
why 5.2.1 shipped within weeks of 5.2.0).
Debian backports all security updates to etch, if that was an issue of
concern.
