if 1008082 gets implemented to just usermod --lock, adduser --system should verify that the requested account has the properites as adduser --system (we aleady do that) and then silenty unlock the account. addgroup --system does not need changing as delgroup --system with DELUSER_SYS_ACTION = lock is a noop, leaving the group intact, and delgroup --system with DELUSER_SYS_ACTION = delete removes the group as it is the case today.
