[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#611699: acpi-support: Recommends xscreensaver without explanation

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.137-5

Hi,

acpi-support Recommends xscreensaver | gnome-screensaver, which
means that one of the two needs to be present in all but unusual
configurations.

The natural question for the sysadmin then becomes: which
configurations do not need it?  For example, xserver used to
recommend xfs because a font server was needed but some unusual
setups used a remote font server (of course nowadays the font
server is always built in).  What functionality is broken if
xscreensaver is not installed?

Would it be possible to add a few words to answer that to the
long description?

Thanks for maintaining good hardware support in Debian.
Jonathan
