> please could you point to a specifc package where you did see this behaviour?

I can give you hundrets of such packages (if not more) but instead I
will give you one of your own: python-reportlab:

| $ mkdir /dane/lenny_chroot
| $ su -c "debootstrap lenny /dane/lenny_chroot"
| [...]
| I: Base system installed successfully.
| $ su - -c "chroot /dane/lenny_chroot"
| # aptitude install python-reportlab
| [...]
| # echo 'deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main' >> 
/etc/apt/sources.list
| # aptitude update
| # aptitude install python-central
| # # apt-cache policy python-central
| python-central:
|   Installed: 0.6.14+nmu2
|   Candidate: 0.6.14+nmu2
|   Version table:
|  *** 0.6.14+nmu2 0
|         500 http://ftp.us.debian.org squeeze/main Packages
|         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
|      0.6.8 0
|         500 http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages
| # find /usr/lib/python2.[345] -follow -lname '*' | wc -l
| 0
| # aptitude install python-reportlab
| # find /usr/lib/python2.[345] -follow -lname '*' | wc -l
| 40

again, this is extremely serious problem IMO
