ownership of characters

I understand the publisher is trying to get everything for nothing and the agent is doing the same from the other direction, but is it normal contract practice for the publisher of a book length manuscript to want all rights to the characters such that they can just go ahead and contract out sequels or sue the author if he tries to sell a work with the same characters to another publisher?
