MySQL seems to behave correctly, please file a bug against the package
you wanted to install if you're sure that it does not work.

	mysql> SELECT OLD_PASSWORD("secret"), PASSWORD("secret");
	+------------------------+--------------------+
	| OLD_PASSWORD("secret") | PASSWORD("secret") |
	+------------------------+--------------------+
	| 428567f408994404       | 428567f408994404   |
	+------------------------+--------------------+

	(with old_passwords=1 set)
