Perhaps there are other screensavers that also use it. I want to make the point that libwww-perl is not necessary for xscreensaver to work, and therefore it should be in Recommends rather than Depends. By default Recommends are installed by apt, so moving libwww-perl to Recommends still solves the problem that you wanted to solve.
