I have a wordpress installation (latest version) running on a debian server with memcached and php5-memcached installed (memcache appears on phpinfo()), but W3 Total Cache doesn’t seem to recognize it, the compatibility test reports the extension as not installed and doesn’t offer memcaced as an option in the various cache configurations.
PHP is running as FastCGI if that’s important.
How can I get memcache to work with W3TC?

At the time of this writing, W3TC only recognizes the php5-memcache (vs. php5-memcached) PHP client for memcached memory object caching system/software.
Hence the “Memcache extension: Installed” in W3TC compatibility test for memcached.
Memcached being useful and efficient as a caching method for database and/or object user/data caching via W3TC, even on a single server setup, besides APC or Zend Opcode (PHP 5.5 core).
