Well, this bug report is about this specific bug, not all bugs of this kind.

Not at all. This is the only way to get a list of all available Python
packages, and it is even what core Python's help("modules") does. So, when
ipython is installed, running help("modules") in a pure python3 interpreter
modifes the execution environment for good, in such a way that it drops to
an IPython shell at any point as it likes.
Besides speech-dispatcher, against which I also reported a bug, I do not
have any packages on my system that show such behaviour.
