Purging the package doesn’t seem to remove the following configuration file that causes Apache to keep trying to load suhosin (causing an error message in Apache’s error log).

/etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini

Removing this file made the error message go away.

The functionality of Suhosin was merged into core PHP, hence it is not ‘needed’ anymore and was removed. I doubt that it will be restored.

It was the only solution I could find at the time. This problem probably happens to most people when they are updating their system. Debian Wheezy does not seem to ship with suhosin anymore, which is why I got the error after upgrading from squeeze to wheezy. And I would argue that for most people this fix is good enough. Anybody who wants to add it manually is welcome to do so and I will happily link to a good blog post which explains how to do this. But I can’t write a blog post about myself, because I don’t intend to do install it.
