I use shadow. In fact, I've been using the shadow packages from experimental
for 6 months or so, and I somehow lost /etc/shells in the process of upgrading
to the new shadow login and passwd that are now in bo.

Yeah, it would be, if it said anything. I notice you're using the old
shadow-passwd package -- the new one is called just "passwd", and has shadow
support, but seems to be missing /etc/shells. This may be bug in the new
package, but I'm not sure. I may have just done something stupid.
But this package does not provide /etc/shells, that's for sure:

Thanks, I already grabbed one off of debian.novare.net.
