Default Field Value without Hard Coding Field ID (for Packages)??

I currently have a button which sets the default value of a lookup field using

 

 

{!URLFOR($Action.Website_Inquiry__c.New, null, ["CF00N80000003bF14"=Patient__c.Name,"CF00N80000003bF14_lkid"=Patient__c.Id])} 
 
The issue is when deploying as a package the custom field Id's in the other target instance (the one the package was installed on) are not the same (naturally). I saw a post here http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=ajax_toolkit&message.id=6810 which suggested that ID's will be replaced automatically with the new ID's. But i tested this (with unmanaged and managed Beta packages) and they did not get replaced. 
 
How do you set default values for fields on buttons that will be packaged? Thanks!

I have found several posts now claiming that the custom field ID should be replaced automatically when the package is installed. In the above example the ID's do not get replaced with the target instances custom id's. Does anyone know under what circumstances when and when they will not get updated?

It takes up to 24 hours but should be done automatically.
