Preferred procedure for getting extra php4 functionality?

[Lloyd Zusman <ljz@asfast.com>]

I noticed that the standard debian php4 package doesn't seem to be built
with the "--enable-mime-magic" option, and therefore, it doesn't provide
the capability to use the mime_content_type() function.

What's the preferred debian procedure for getting extra php
functionality like this?  Download the php4 source packages and rebuild
them myself?  Send a message to the package maintainer(s)?  Or ... ???

Thanks.
