I think this might be because nss-pam-ldapd (which we have to use because 
of GnuTLS library hilarity, and also because it is a bit better than the 
PADL LDAP NSS/PAM stuff) doesn't support chsh and chfn yet. It is in the 
development branch but that could be a few years away from hitting Debian 
stable.
