There is also a minor error in the text, quote from user-password.c:
else if (len < 6) {
primary_text = _("Password is too short");
secondary_text = _("User passwords must be longer than 6
characters and preferably "
"formed by numbers, letters and special
characters.");
That is, length 6 is allowed, but the text claims that "must be longer
than 6 characters", i e at least 7 characters.
Anyway, removing these lines altogether seems to be better than the
current situation, where users-admin makes up its own non-configurable
idea of what a proper password is. (I assume that trying to set a
password that pam disallows will fail anyway.)

required password length for users should be the same as pam.d/common-password
