packages.debian.org already has passwd 1:4.1.1-3

changelog (the parts that matters here):

   * 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
