I too have come across this issue, working on a localised installation of my code, and Debian Sid has upgraded to 5.4 RC4 PHP. A form of over 7000 lines with checkboxes (!) suddenly only processed 1001 of these in the $_POST data...head scratching for a few hours.

Made the change in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:

max_input_vars = 5000

save, and restart apache, and it's all good now.
