I ran into the very same error some days ago. I have no idea about the cause, but doing random tests, we (at work) found that upgrading to testing and then to unstable "fixed" the problem. You only have to upgrade libpam or libpam0g (I'm not sure which of them; the former doesn't exist in unstable, IIRC), and then you can upgrade normally to unstable. That is, add testing to your sources.list, do apt-get install libpam/testing, and then upgrade normally. DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer showed nothing, BTW.
