For Apache usage, the order is :

1. .htaccess
2. Apache conf
3. apache2/php.ini

IMO the best usage is to set PHP options in Apache conf (in
yourapp.conf with a symlink to /etc/apache2/conf.d/yourapp.conf)
or write configuration example in README.Debian and let the admin
decides what he wants (VirtualHost, apache2/conf.d/ or php.ini).

I Cc: Webapps-common-discuss lists which could be interested by
this discussion.
