Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.39
Followup-For: Bug #761215

Actually, it does _not_ prompt ... unless debconf is _not_ installed and
prompting is not possible -- i.e., I think this is a bug.  From
base-passwd.postinst:

====
tmp=`tempfile`
if ! update-passwd --dry-run > $tmp ; then
        if [ -f /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ] ; then
                db_version 2.0
                update-passwd --verbose
                changes=1
        else
                # debconf prompting
====

I believe that probably should be "if [ ! -f .../deconf/..."
