Firas, you seem to be under the misimpression that you need the latest version to avoid this warning message. That is not true at all. You only need a version that is not quite old. The version that you get in 14.10 was not the current version of Xscreensaver (or even close to it) when 14.10 was frozen. Of course, the real problem here is that whoever volunteers to package this for universe did not update it any time recently. It's hard to complain about volunteer work, but the fact remains that the age of the package unnecessarily created a problem even for non-LTS users (for LTS users, the age of the package would be understandable).
