It is probably and stupid question, but what version of PHP5 is 5.2.0-8+etch13 ?
Is it really 5.2.0 ? Because maybe it is just the debian version that covers something else.

Not really.
-8etch13signifies that the Debian maintainer has applied no less than 13 revisions of his own patchset to PHP 5.2.0 and 8 of some other patchset.Much of this goes towards backporting fixes from newer versions of PHP, so it doesn’t really correspond to any particular PHP release.
So while it’s better than PHP 5.2.0, it’s not as good as PHP 5.2.11. If you have issues, I would recommend trying to upgrade to the latest PHP 5.2 (on a testing server, obviously). I’ve experienced strange bugs before with Debian’s PHP packages.
