My apologies for being oblivious to the Debian site's bug tracking resource. It turns out a Mr. Billson turned this one in in January 2000. Wah!
So the trick to my problem is that something called "wordlist" is needed for the cracklib-runtime install to work, and apparently there is no strong dependency for it defined inside the .deb file to designate this. Therefore an appropriate admonition at this point is to make sure wenglish, or other users of "wordlist" are installed before installing cracklib-runtime, otherwise you'll get a broken cracklib-runtime, at least on Potato.
