There are two issues here:
  (1) according to apt-file search, gdmflexiserver is *only* provided
      by gdm, not xdm (which I do happen to be running) nor kdm.  (kdm
      might provide something *like* it, but xscreensaver is hard
      coded to have
         *newLoginCommand:      gdmflexiserver -l -a -c FLEXI_XSERVER
      in the binary, so it wouldn't help if it did...)
  (2) per debian policy, 7.2 "binary dependencies", xscreensaver needs
      at *least* a "Suggests: gdm" to describe the above dependency...

While it would be *better* to see the button go away if it can't
possibly work, I think you at least need to correct the packaging to
reflect the above.
