Debian dialog windows look ugly

Try to change putty settings for this session:

Terminal > Keyboard > The Function keys and keypad  --> linux

Window > Translation > Character set --> UTF-8

Connection > Data > Terminal-type string --> linux

It ain't normal, but it's just charset issue.

For what it's worth, I ran into that thing even after setting locale and UTF8 encoding, but switching from dialog to whiptail resolved the issue. No idea why, either.
