SuSE 10.3 upgrades PHP from 5.2.6 to 5.2.9, I expect SuSE 10.2 does the same due to security issues in older PHP versions.

No idea about Debian updates but if it is Debian Etch vs Extbase, than core team majority most likely will choose Extbase and drop Debian Etch support. At least I expect so...
