note that if you want to have everything else from the debian package
*but* suhosin, you can do cat /dev/null > debian/patches/suhosin.patch
and rebuild the package into debs:

sudo apt-get build-dep php5
apt-get source php5
cd php5-$version
cat /dev/null > debian/patches/suhosin.patch
dpkg-buildpackage

(i haven't tried this but suspect it or something similar will work)

but i will concur with ondřej that we have no interest in providing a
suhosin disabled version of the php packages to be generally available.
as it stands we are overloaded with trying to support such a difficult
software platform, this would add even more complexity and overhead for
what in our mind is zero gain.
