I think nixpkgs' i3lock refers to a PAM library from nixpkgs, and as you see from strace, it still loads from /etc and chokes on that non-standard Debian syntax. I made some progress by replacing the @include statements from /etc with standard calls, but it went deep, and I decided it wasn't maintainable in the long run.
