I suspect that you have your debconf priority settings set to suppress
prompting. If you change the shell and then run:
dpkg-reconfigure base-passwd
and say no to the question of whether you want update-passwd to change the
shell, it will leave it alone and remember that response for all
subsequent upgrades.
You can also use debconf preseeding to set that answer across large
numbers of systems if needed.
