Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 3.6.1-4
Severity: important
Tags: upstream wontfix

gnome-screensaver is no longer part of GNOME, and is no longer maintained.
Last time it was discussed[1], some GNOME upstream maintainers expressed
a preference for anyone wanting to continue its development to use
a different name for their version. Perhaps gnome-flashback-screensaver
would be appropriate.
