Bug#552436: gnome-screensaver: does it really need to depend on gnome-session ?

[Jeremy Lal]

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: wishlist

I noticed the dependency on gnome-session is not really
required : change of user, locking screen, letting a message
all work properly without gnome-session.
Unless i'm missing something, that would be nice to drop it,
or put it in recommends : xfce users don't want to install
gnome-session when they just need a nice screen locker.
I just changed the control file and it's shown in the list below.
