Can you try switching to another mirror?

This is very weird:

.../... So you're installing squeeze (==testing).


But this is not expected:

> Oct 22 12:18:00 anna[2943]: DEBUG: retrieving user-setup-udeb 1.23

user-setup-udeb in squeeze is version 1.28

And, thus


 Oct 22 16:42:27 finish-install: info: Running /usr/lib/finish-install.d/06user-setup
> Oct 22 16:42:27 user-setup: Shadow passwords are now on.
> Oct 22 16:42:27 finish-install: chpasswd: invalid option -- 'm'

> Oct 22 16:42:27 finish-install: 
> Oct 22 16:42:27 finish-install: warning: /usr/lib/finish-install.d/06user-setup returned error code 2

This is bug #529475 which was fixed in user-setup 1.24

So, I really think there's somethign wrong with that mirror.
