My apologies, as this turned out to be a known bug. What happens is you can't get the *_dict.* files in Debian/Potato unless you've first got something called "wordlist" installed, which may most easily be gotten with the command: apt-get install wenglish Once I did that I was getting my wordlist, and thereby my cracklib password setting functionality problem was fixed. This is broken apparently because there is not a necessary dependency defined in the cracklib-runtime.deb dependency file. I've not looked further into it, but if I get the rest of my act together I may try to help do something to fix this. Thanks Igmar for you help.
