If you install with apt-get you don't need to configure/make because you are installing the binaries.
Isn't that right?
He probably wants to install the latest version. Debian's version is a bit old, though I think not too dated as to be intolerable.
If you dare to use Debian unstable (like I do on my desktop), you will get PHP 5.2.9 instead of 5.2.6 (with Debian Stable - Lenny) or 5.2.0 (Debian Stable - Etch). Then you will not only have bleeding edge PHP, you will always have the very latest version of essentially each and every package on your system if you upgrade often enough.
Managing a Debian Unstable system is tedious, though. Be forewarned.

APT-CUDF-GET(8) DOSE Tools APT-CUDF-GET(8)
NAME
apt-cudf-get - wrapper for calling apt-get with external solvers
SYNOPSIS
apt-cudf-get [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
apt-cudf-get is a wrapper that allows to invoke apt-get with external solvers while ignoring apt's pinning.
All options are passed on to apt-get.
Normally, apt uses so-called pinning to select a candidate version of a package in case there are several versions available. This also
holds when calling apt-get with external solvers. However, when it is not possible to find a solution under this constraint, it may be
useful to relax pinning and to allow the external solver to choose among all available versions of packages in order to satisfy
dependencies, not only those that are selected by the pinning. This is precisely what apt-cudf-get does.
Note that, when using an external solver, the proposed solution may contain any available version of the packages that are given as
arguments to install on the command line without specifying a version qualifier.
For example
apt-cudf-get --solver aspcud install ocaml
may propose to install any available version of ocaml, while
apt-cudf-get --solver aspcud install ocaml=4.01.0
will only propose to install ocaml in version 4.01.0

BUGS
Not all types of arguements to apt are correctly treated by this wrapper, in particular not the +pkg and -pkg shorthands for installation
and removal requests.
