Debian release almost no updates to stable, only bug fixes (and usually
after some time only security-related ones). In that, they are quite
fast - I guess more-or-less as other distros.

Debian has:
In stable - php3 (3.0.18), php4 (4.1.2).
In unstable - php3 (3.0.18), php4 (4.3.3).
If by flags you mean 'things you usually change only during compilation'
then of course you don't have control over that, unless you compile by
yourself. I don't think other distros are different - actually, Debian
does have such packages, which I think other distros don't, but not php.
E.g. they have emacs21-nox and emacs21, ickle and ickle-gnome, various
versions of vim, libapache-mod-acct-mysql and libapache-mod-acct-pgsql,
libsdl1.2debian-all and libsdl1.2debian-arts and libsdl1.2debian-esd and
libsdl1.2debian-oss, etc.
