Please read my original report carefully. This is _not_ a Debian system,
only dpkg is taken from there, the shadow package does not come from
Debian, so there's nothing wrong with Debian's shadow. I thought I found a
bug in dpkg, but it seems it's a feature (IMHO misfeature, but that's a
different story...)
