I never build packages outside of pbuilder, so it takes a bit more work
than that. I know how to do it of course (or install all the necessary
development packages to do a build outside pbuilder), but given that I
already know that my package builds against Apache 2.2, I'm not sure what
doing so would really accomplish.
(My main development system is already running Apache for other reasons,
which makes it a bit more annoying to do the build outside pbuilder since
I would have to generally upgrade to the experimental version of Apache at
the same time.)
And, possibly more to the point, if I were maintaining a package like
mod_php, I'd make much more of an effort to test in experimental. I doubt
anyone's going to notice momentary breakage of webauth in unstable except
me, though. :)

Yeah, experimental is already in my sources.list.
