If you're using suexec2 (part of apache2) note that you need only add the 
following line to the virtual host config:
 SuexecUserGroup sympa sympa

(assuming as you do that you want to run it as uid sympa, gid sympa of course)

I'm installing 4.1.5 on Ubuntu (Breezy, the latest release) at the moment (a 
step up from 3.4.4.3 which the previous lists were running on, I still need 
to test 5.x for our setup). I couldn't find a fastcgi package for apache2 on 
Ubuntu, so at the moment I'm just getting it running as standard cgi. There 
aren't many lists here, so it's not a huge hit yet, and the new machine it's 
all moving to is significantly faster than the previous one, which was also 
running cgi due to apache bugs.

I'd be interested in how things go for you, as Debian and Ubuntu are no 
different really on the admin side of things.
