This issue was fixed a long time ago, see

systemd (241-7) unstable; urgency=medium

...

   * Use /usr/sbin/nologin as nologin shell.
     In Debian the nologin shell is installed in /usr/sbin, not /sbin.
     (Closes: #931850)

If you have such a user account, it must be from 2019 or earlier and was 
never part of a stable release afaics.
Since this is a minor issue, I don't think it warrants adding migration 
code for this.
