Need to install flex-old for compile PHP CVS under Debian sid

I hope to hack pdo_oci so need to compile PHP CVS manually. BTW, official document mention that:

From this point onwards, installation is similar to the installation of one of the official packages with one main difference – you must have bison 1.28 or later and flex 2.5.4 to compile, because the pre-generated scanner and parser files are not included in CVS.

But Debian sid coming with flex 2.5.35 which is not support. So what can I do for it? Well... There is a package called as flex-old, which is 2.5.4a-7... Just run the following command and install it:

apt-get install flex-old
