Sorry for being so long
On my system, passwd is configure correctly (md5 and shadow) with this 
script
After reading mail of Cristian, all i can say is that my server runs 
with sarge and i do installations of sarge. Maybe the bug is corrected 
in sarge
For info, this packages are installed on my system :
    dpkg/testing uptodate 1.10.9
    debconf/testing uptodate 1.2.21
    passwd/testing uptodate 20000902-12
