I've found the problem and it's really a silly thing: the binary
package for ppp_2.3.2-2.deb is compiled without HAS_SHADOW. I've
rebuilt it changing the file debian/rules adding 'HAS_SHADOW=1' to the
second make (no PAM support):
build:
$(checkdir)
./configure
make USE_PAM=1
mv pppd/pppd pppd/pppd-pam
rm pppd/auth.o
> make HAS_SHADOW=1
touch build
And it worked using pap-secrets:
* hostname "" *
It doesn't work without the leading * (maybe it's a bug in the
pap-secrets parser, but it's not a real problem).
I don't know if a ppp-shadow package will be needed or if there's
another way to build a debian package usable for SHADOW and not SHADOW
systems (i've started with debian development only to see what
happended with the ppp daemon, i'm sure that Phil should have the
answer, but as he states, maybe PAM support is the way to do it).

Yes, it fails for me, but i haven't used PAM before and i don't know
where is the problem. If time permits i'll try to find the bug in the
code.

Phil, I'm able to test the PAP/PAM combo for dial-in easily, so if you
want me to test any code just tell me.
