I don't want "screen lock on suspend", because I don't suspend on lid
close, and I don't plan to change that.  (One of the reasons I haven't
upgraded to the rest of gnome3 yet; putting it off until I have a large
block of time to fiddle with configuration issues like that.)

Which package handles "screen lock on lid close"?  gnome-power-manager
or gnome-screensaver?

Quite possible, though if so, some kind of versioned Depends or Breaks
should exist.
