Could you cut&paste the definition of `dired-use-ls-dired' code from
Debian's dired.el (i.e. do M-x find-library RET dired RET)?  It should
be this:

;;;###autoload
(defcustom dired-use-ls-dired
  (and (string-match "gnu" system-configuration)
       ;; Only supported for XEmacs >= 21.5 and GNU Emacs >= 21.4 (I think)
       (or (and (featurep 'xemacs)
		(fboundp 'emacs-version>=)
		(emacs-version>= 21 5))
	   (and (boundp 'emacs-major-version)
		(boundp 'emacs-minor-version)
		(or (> emacs-major-version 21)
		    (and (= emacs-major-version 21)
			 (>= emacs-minor-version 4))))))
  "Non-nil means Dired should use `ls --dired'."
  :type 'boolean
  :group 'dired-programs)
