While I agree with that being strange I'm not sure it can be a blanket statement for any sort of package. Consider upgrades to gnumed-server - you'll have to initiate the actual database upgrade yourself after installing a new package -- because Debian simply cannot know when the time is right for actually upgrading the database with regard to clients on, maybe, *other* machines connecting to this Debian machine as database server.
