maybe this posting helps to satisfy questions about special versions. 
let me see...

the installation of typo3 packages will trigger apt-get to install the 
depending packages, according to the installed debian distribution. in 
other words: which version of apache, php4 etc. is installed depends on 
the version of your debian distribution.

for example:
i do run Woody (debian 3.0) this is the stable release at the moment.
as proposed for a productive (and stable) server, i do have installed 
only stable packages.
you can get an overview of stable package versions at: 
http://packages.debian.org/stable/ for example, check the section [web 
software] for php.
you can browse http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and get package 
information for your prefered distribtion.

on my system, there are:
apache-common 1.3.26
apache 1.3.26
php4 4.1.2
php4-gd2 4.1.2
php4-mysql 4.1.2
imagemagick 5.4.4.5
and others...

keep in mind, that i do _not_ have installed the debian package of 
typo3, because it's not yet proposed to be stable.

regarding phpinfo(); php was built with follwing options

---> snap

afaik, there is no special gdlib package for typo3.
and, last but not least: use php4-gd2 instead of php4-gd
