Yes, the internet can. Reading this comment <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/890219/comments/1> on an Ubuntu bug concerning the same problem, it turns out that I've misunderstood the workings of apache2-suexec-custom. The /etc/apache2/suexec/* files are named after the user who owns the apache proces (i.e. the user configured with apache's User directive, on Debian this is www-data) and *not* (as I had understood) the user specified in the SuexecUserGroup directive. The thing that I wanted to do (specify a custom user and directory for CGI scripts on a per-VirtualHost basis) is not possible, or least is certainly not what apache2-suexec-custom allows.
