I did.

I didn't know they existed, but using them fixed my issue indeed, 
thanks! (I fooled them a little using the packages for vivid because the 
ppa doesn't have a wily branch, but that went through just fine, 
although I had to skip testing).

Now I have the php5-xapian, I add "extension=xapian.so" to my 
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-xapian.ini, I see in phpinfo that that file 
is parsed, but that's it (no xapian module info).

When I check the Apache error_log, I get this:

"
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 
'/usr/lib/php5/20131226/xapian.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20131226/xapian.so: 
undefined symbol: 
_ZN6Xapian5Chert4openERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEii 
in Unknown on line 0
"

I suppose this must be bound to using vivid packages on wily or 
something like that... or is this something that is also fixable by some 
use-that-other-source trick?

Yeah, I caught that the first time but that didn't help (now it did).

Will look at the Debian side a bit later.
