Ok. I'll try to help. 

there's a few tips at faq.envida.net. I'm trying to expand those, so I'd 
love feedback on what is missing.

WHAT is compiled from source? 

- APache?
- PHP?
- Mysql?
or just midagard?

Debian has a php problem at the moment that I think will not be solved for 
another month for unstable (se earlyer post on this list on php-4.0.7 
yesterday or the day before)  and probably a lot longer for cabbage.

Therefore I strongly suggest that you build apache, php and midgard from 
src, preferably --with-prefix=/usr/local/[apache|midgard] and also that you 
build PHP as a module and do not compile it into apache as that makes it a 
_LOT_ simpler to find errors later.

When doing this, PLEASE take notes of every step and publish them to this 
list when the install is done. 

Some hints on building midgard this way:
- Make sure that you add the apache and midgard libpaths to 
your /etc/ld.so.conf

- Make sure that $PREFIX/bin is your PATH var. I.e.:
PATH = $PATH:/usr/local/apache/bin:/usr/local/midgard/bin

- Make sure that all packages are above the minimal version required for 
installing midgard. This may require that you download and compile mysql 
from src or use unstable/testing packages.
