what do you want to achieve: a combination of packages for sarge that
work out-of-the-box? Even with tricky manual fetching from sid i gave
up on this so i'd suggest
 1 wait until the newer php4 (+related) packages move from sid into
   testing
     - or -
 2 if php-gd from sarge works (don't tested it myself) just put a
   "Depends: ..., php4-gd | php4-gd2, ..." into the control file; all
   other dependencies are resolved without problems on sarge, no need
   to change
     - or -
 3 maybe backports of the newer packages are worth a try (see e.g.
   http://www.apt-get.org/)

IMHO building a meta-package just for sarge-early-sep-2003 is not
worth the effort,really ...

Yeah, the release manager announced his plan for the next stable
release. If all goes well (anybody believing in this? :^) we have a
new stable for christmas!
