I had a similar challenge on my local development machine (not Debian by 
the way). If you run PHP as apache module then you are limited to a 
single PHP version for each running apache.
You could fire up multiple apache instances, each with its own 
configuration and thus with different PHP versions.

An alternative is to run PHP in (F)CGI mode. That way you can define the 
location of the PHP directory for each vhost.
