I've committed this patch, but there is a small issue for debian: su and
passwd don't deal the same way with a null expiry field. Also, Debian's
PAM has a patch which change the behavior of other fields when they are
set to 0.

So, shall we comment it in series until there is a clearer status for
#308229?
(There's no changelog entry for the moment)
