After close inspection (grep -ri pam_passwdqc /etc/pam.d/) it seems that I have that line added to both /etc/pam.d/sshd AND /etc/pam.d/passwd
So you're saying I can leave out the line in /etc/pam.d/sshd and everything will be exactly the same for me? Got to try that out next monday

PS - I was never able to get the settings in login.conf for password strength to work either. I read somewhere that they are silently ignored in favor of pam's configuration, and only exist for backwards compatibility.
Well, that confirms it for me, thanks!

I agree with anomie on the forum guide, even if it was only to divert this discussion away from this thread After my testing on monday, I might just post a guide!
