Package: adduser
Version: 3.121
Severity: important

This is one of the bugs resulting from the policy and debian-devel
consultations that happened in March 2022.

There should be an option --lock for deluser --system that leaves the
account intact but makes login impossible (by setting an invalid
password, leaving existing password recoverable, and setting shell to
/usr/sbin/nologin).

Document this (README.adduser-for-packages, deluser(8)) as
recommendation to call in postrm remove.

Severity important since the suggested policy change depends on this feature.

Blocks: #1006912

Reason: suggested policy change, #1006912
