Package: shadow,libpam-modules
Followup-For: Bug #389183

A note to software archeologists: this was reverted in June 2007 by
shadow 1:4.1.1-3, with the following remarks in the changelog:

  * debian/patches/494_passwd_lock-no_account_lock: Restore the previous
    behavior of passwd -l (which changed in #389183): only lock the user's
    password, not the user's account. Also explicitly document the
    differences. This restores a behavior common with the previous versions of
    passwd and with other implementations. Closes: #492307

The changelog shipped by the package doesn't go back that far.
