[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#722170: acpi-support: please implement a "Debian alternatives system" solution for x11 screen lock

[M. Dietrich]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.141-2
Severity: wishlist

in /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank is a big switch to detect & use the
installed screenserver. it provides a hardcoded priority list in case several
screenservers are avaiable. i love the screen to be locked when suspending but
i would prefere a way where the screenlock package maintainer can provide the
logic how to trigger the screenlock and include this in the "Debian
alternatives system".

the problem hit me cause i installed i3lock (and dropped xtrlock) and lost the
feature.
