That is not usually the case. Upstream bug fixes the size and severity of this
one are usually folded in when the Debian packager starts updates to a new
upstream release. If that package tends to track an upstream source control
repository instead of official releases, then this might happen fairly quickly
in Debian unstable. However, most packages do not; python-scipy is just such a
package.

But look at the changelog history if you don't believe me:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/python-scipy/python-scipy_0.5.2-0.1/changelog
