Bug#1132611: RM: gnome-screensaver -- ROM; unmaintained security-sensitive software

[Jeremy Bícha]

Package: ftp.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-screensaver at packages.debian.org
User: ftp.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
Control: affects -1 gnome-screensaver

Please remove gnome-screensaver from Unstable.

gnome-screensaver was archived upstream in 2018 which means that bug
reports, bug fixes, and translation updates are no longer accepted.
gnome-screensaver is security-sensitive since one of its purposes is
to prevent use of the logged-in session while the computer operator is
away.

GNOME itself hasn't used gnome-screensaver for many years. There are
alternative screen lockers for other desktops and window managers.
