[and others from the same source]

This was a side-effect of the fact that the -6lenny4 packages made the
packages in question virtual packages provided by heartbeat and
heartbeat-dev but also continued to ship them as binary packages.

See http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/08/msg00087.html for the
discussion surrounding the upload (including a potential way of removing
the uninstallability).
