Is suhosin not included on Plesk 12.5? It was on my old version 10.4

Just a quick question, I cant seem to find this extension in the phpinfo() or any other places.
My server is running Debian 7.5, don't know if this has something to do with it.
Has it been dropped in the big update, and if so, how come?

As far as I remember this is the 3rd party extension. It is not provided by Plesk. Use following guide for installation http://suhosin.org/stories/install.html

Ok, but i never installed it on my old server with plesk 10.4.4 (also debian but v6.0), so I just assumed it was a normal PHP security feature that came preinstalled with debian or with Plesk.
But are there other PHP extensions pre installed in 12.5 that are just as good or pretty much the same? Just to know if I easily could exclude suhosin and still have some good security features.

Also, has people tried installing it manually on a plesk 12.x server? I'm just scared it might ruin some settings that make plesk itself or some of the customer websites unusable.

I'm not familiar with Debian but you can quite easily compile Suhosin and use it with whatever version of php you use.

However, I'm finding it less and less useful these days.
