I've recompiled the packages using the same sources, and noticed that my version has different dependencies:

*******************************

root at OpenWrt:~# opkg info shadow-utils
Package: shadow-utils
Version: 4.2.1-3
Depends: libc, shadow
Status: unknown ok not-installed
Section: utils
Architecture: ar71xx
Maintainer: Steven Barth <cyrus at openwrt.org>
MD5Sum: 6e7ec717b185b2f5354cbf8565d4e220
Size: 903
Filename: shadow-utils_4.2.1-3_ar71xx.ipk
Source: feeds/packages/utils/shadow
Description: Full versions of standard shadow utilities. Normally, you would not
 use this package, since the functionality in BusyBox is more than
 sufficient and much smaller.

Package: shadow-utils
Version: 4.2.1-4
Depends: libc

 sufficient and much smaller.

*******************************

I believe this is how it should work, now the conflict is gone as only the required components are installed by opkg.

I'm going to create a pull request soon providing a fix for this.
