Just to follow up, after talking with Guilherme yesterday I uploaded new 
packages for sid and experimental fixing all those config file relocation 
errors (and some other minor things). The -29 packages have now been 
successfully built for alpha and sparc so, unless there are other serious 
bugs reported to them they should proceed into testing in 5 days [1]

Also, there are only 11 bugs (2 pending and fixed in CVS, 8 minor and 1 
Normal which is #79831). As for 79831 I believe it does not currently 
apply. I believe you can run john as a non-root user perfectly fine. 

Actually, I just did the following:

[ Note: under /tmp ]
$ htpasswd -c passwdfile test
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user test
$ john passwdfile
Loaded 1 password (Standard DES [48/64 4K])
test             (test)
guesses: 1  time: 0:00:00:00 100% (1)  c/s: 64.00  trying: test - test,
[ Note : john is in the PATH ]
$ export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
$ rm -f john.pot restore
$ /usr/sbin/john passwdfile
Loaded 1 password (Standard DES [48/64 4K])
test             (test)
guesses: 1  time: 0:00:00:00 100% (1)  c/s: 64.00  trying: test - test,

So I will close that bug now
