Alright. Did you actually took a look at the changelog for 8.2.6? I
found in it the following entry:
#v+
* Ship pg_config in postgresql-server-dev, and ship a copy in /usr/bin in
libpq-dev, instead of libpq-dev shipping it in
/usr/lib/postgresql/<version>/bin. This makes it possible to use a
libpq-dev from a different major version (like 8.3 from experimental).
(Closes: #455509)
#v-
Did you try to use /usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin/pg_config instead,
because that gives me the data you are expecting.
Wether the output of /usr/bin/pg_config is an error or on intention I
can't tell, I am forwarding this to the actual package maintainer.

Can you make it use the pg_config from /usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin
instead of the one in /usr/bin? Because like said above that gives me
the paths you would be expecting. Wether this would be a workaround or
the proper approach to your problem is something that hopefully Martin
can add a comment on.
So long,
Rhonda
