I don't know for this specific file why it is that dpkg -L lists it when
"it is not installed with that package" or indeed what "it is not
installed with that package" means.
On my machine the file /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libgcc_s.so
exists and is a symlink to /lib/libgcc_s.so.1.
It is true that sometimes packages delete files installed by dpkg. This
is not something that dpkg can know about and we do not plan to
introduce a way to tell dpkg about it. So if that's the case then this
isn't a bug.
It might be that there is a bug in dpkg here but it doesn't seem hugely
likely without further information.
It is also possible that your machine has filesystem corruption due to
hardware problems.
