This comes from the postrm killing all xscreensaver processes:
killall -q /usr/bin/xscreensaver || true
This doesn't cause the removal to fail, but does display the error,
which happens because /usr/bin/xscreensaver no longer exists during
postrm. killall apparently always prints such an error when the file
doesn't exist.
One obvious fix would be to move this to prerm, which would probably be
cleaner too, however there is no prerm yet.
