Is the setserial program contained in any of the Debian packages, or will
I have to install it seperately?

I am trying to locate a current set of packages that would
upgrade a 1.1.7 system to use shadow passwords.
Could anyone point out where I might find the required
packages?
Also what is the Debian standpoint on shadow passwords?

Just downgrade to mfbasfnt-1.0-3 from the "stable" aka buzz-fixed release. It
contains a manfnt.mf so that TeX builds. "dpkg --configure babel" should then
