   I ran into the very same error some days ago. I have no idea about the
cause, but doing random tests, we (at work) found that upgrading to testing
and then to unstable "fixed" the problem. You only have to upgrade libpam or
libpam0g (I'm not sure which of them; the former doesn't exist in unstable,
IIRC), and then you can upgrade normally to unstable. That is, add testing to
your sources.list, do apt-get install libpam/testing, and then upgrade
normally.

   DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer showed nothing, BTW.

   HTH,
