It probably tells you why. Here's how to obtain the same behavior
without bothering with PAM yet, for testing:
$ echo 1234567i | pwqcheck -1 min=disabled,8,8,8,7 passphrase=0
Bad passphrase (based on a common sequence of characters and not a passphrase)
Here's how to disable the extra check to have that password accepted:
$ echo 1234567i | pwqcheck -1 min=disabled,8,8,8,7 passphrase=0 match=0
OK
So to achieve what you want, add match=0 to the line in
/etc/pam.d/common-password.
Testing the resulting somewhat weak policy on common passwords from
JtR's default password.lst gives these accepted common passwords:
$ grep -v '^#!comment:' /usr/share/john/password.lst | pwqcheck -1 --multi min=disabled,8,8,8,7 passphrase=0 match=0 | grep -n ^OK:
153:OK: asdfjkl;

Without the match=0 addition, it'd be only these 4:
$ grep -v '^#!comment:' /usr/share/john/password.lst | pwqcheck -1 --multi min=disabled,8,8,8,7 passphrase=0 | grep -n ^OK:
2044:OK: iloveyou!
