I have this problem with Hardy and a pure PostgreSQL 8.3 setup, and have determined the problem to be from libpq-dev from hardy-backports.
I've tested a clean server setup without hardy-backports enabled, and pg_config reports correct paths to 8.3 and version 8.3.9. It is only when the hardy-backports are enabled that it becomes messed up and reports to 8.4 (version 8.4.2). This breaks configurations to extensions, like PostGIS.
