Even if you have to recompile, it's fairly painless:
cd /usr/src
apt-get source apache
cd apache-1.3.26/
vi debian/rules
(set --suexec-docroot=/where/you/want)
fakeroot debian/rules binary

The debs already have suexec, but the suexec-docroot is set to /var/www or
something like that. If that's not what you want, you'll have to
recompile. Just make sure you save a backup copy of /usr/lib/apache/suexec
so you can fix it when the next minor release comes out and 'apt-get upgrade'
overwrites your custom suexec binary.
