The changelog from 5.0.4-1 says:

 - Enabled the pgsql extension, and disabled the imap extension (which
   will be moving to another source package and become the example
   package for out-of-tree builds).

And indeed, there's a php-imap source package available in unstable,
which provides a php4-imap and php5-imap package. I'm going to build
and upload a backport later today.
