Justification: breaks unrelated software
## Add a new system user

# adduser --system --group --home /var/lib/testuser testuser
warn: The home dir /var/lib/testuser you specified already exists.
fatal: The system user `testuser' already exists. Exiting.
## Which seems to work fine
# echo $?
0
## Change it from locked to no password

## Re-Add the new system user
# adduser --system --group --home /var/lib/testuser testuser

## Fails unexpected

It looks like the check added in ee5cee1f32cc to addsysuser seems to be
problematic:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/adduser/-/commit/ee5cee1f32ccaaf97c921c772fcc61dff0e4f053#fcb13654c5c3048ef5c4919c3aaf065a8c22cec6_562_568

This should be true if EXISTING_FOUND bit is set BUT EXISTING_SYSTEM is NOT set.
With setting password to locked, it works, because existing_user_status sets
the EXISTING_LOCKED bit too to $ret, which means this condition is not true
anymore.
