Well, it looks like the Debian package php-gd does not fully support all the PHP features, such as the function imageantialias.

and
http://www.hostingforum.ca/804602-php-problem-gd-library.html#post1898625
describe the situation, and looks like the only solution is somewhat tedious - have to download PHP source, and then compile it by hand.
Is there some other easier method? Possibly some non-Debian blessed source that compiles PHP correctly so that all the GD functions in the embedded gd work correctly?
Installing from source means cannot use apt-get for any php related install anymore, which means cannot get updates that way, etc, so it is a somewhat painful approach.
