passwd -l adds two "!" characters but usermod -U only removes one.  WTF.

Actually this is a bug in libuser - passwd manual page states that it adds only single ! with -l, but the libuser backend of passwd does otherwise.

Changing the duplciate target just to be precise.

See also bug 853153, which is really the core issue in libuser, but the report specifically talks about (usermod -U).
