I think it is filed against /var/lib/dpkg/info/passwd.config

The script is run during installation and on
`dpkg-reconfigure passwd`...

I can check if it's buggy tomorrow.

About Pawel's:

permissions for /etc/skel and /etc look strange.
But even with such ones, useradd -m copies Maildir/*
wery well :) -- passwd 1:4.0.3-31sarge1
