I can not reproduce the bug:

[michael at pluto ~]$ apt-cache policy cracklib-runtime
cracklib-runtime:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.9.2-1+b2
  Version table:
     2.9.2-1+b2 500
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[michael at pluto ~]$ pwmake 56

Can you reproduce the issue?

Anyway, not a grave bug as the package is still functional. So downgrading
