Hi Michael.

Nice to see that you still have time for Debianization  ;-)

afaik other modules (e.g. gd/mysql) don't get loaded automatically too.
(you have to remove the comment to enable the module.

I have no clue about the difference.
But the eaccelerator docs say: "If you use a thread safe build of PHP
you must use "zend_extension_ts" instead of "zend_extension"."
http://eaccelerator.net/wiki/InstallFromSource
So for mpm-worker this is true, but how about the other models? and
cherokee, lighttpd...
Best practice would be a hint into /usr/share/doc/README and let the
user decide.
The source distribution ships zend_extension

One could have also mod_php on one host:
/var/cache/eaccelerator-php5-cgi
too exorbitant?

Since memory size grows over the years, 32MB should fit as a minimum.
(except for the 128MB vserver we am running ;-)

Good question. I don't think so, because from a logical point of view,
shm is "shared memory". ;-)
