Remember that /usr can be a read-only filesystem if one wants to, and your PHP thing should continue to work.

I wouldn't use it if I was you. In fact, I see no reason why you would force it at all. Just don't setup anything if possible, and do a README.debian. Just your <Directory> portion is enough.
