Actually, the fix is easier than I thought, just using these commands
fixes the issue:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/paraview/libvtkPVServerCommonPython.so
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/paraview/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/paraview/libvtkCommonPython.so
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/paraview/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/paraview/libvtkPVServerManagerPython.so
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/paraview/

Now even the python shell in paraview works like a charm. Excellent.

The remaining issues with paraview are rather minor.
