Attached is a debdiff for xscreensaver cutting down the number of savers
installed.

In order to actually cut it down to just the 12 listed above we'd need
to remove gnome-screensaver's recommends on rss-glx. Also gnome-
screensaver shouldn't install Cosmos, Picture Folder, and Floating Feet
(note that only the desktop file shouldn't be installed as the actually
binary is called by Floating Ubuntu as well). It might just be easier to
keep these, but Cosmos does seem a bit redundant with GLSlideshow
already show space pictures. There's also a question of Pictures Folder
vs F-Spot. Personally, I don't use F-spot so it's useless to me, but for
those that do use it might be nicer than Pictures Folder (although, I
guess these would be completely redundant if Bug #127315 is fixed)... If
someone from the DX Team would give me some marching orders on what
they'd like to see happen with gnome-screensaver, I'd be happy to supply
a patch.

ubuntu-desktop also seems to depend on  rss-glx.

Also, just to be clear where all the screen savers are coming from, the
F-Spot screensaver comes from f-spot and Floating Ubuntu comes from
human-theme.
