The problem is that gnome-screensaver is listed in the
RequiredComponents for GNOME Flashback.

We should first check whether that's actually necessary for Flashback to
work with gnome-screensaver.

It it is, I think it's possible to use Debian's alternative system to
have a generic screensaver package that could be listed in
RequiredComponents and then have gnome-session-flashback depend on any
one of the packages that provide the generic screensaver functionality.
