Yes, I think it would be correct to remove the Enhance's. I don't have the full overview of all alternative screensaver engines and whether they make use of the xscreensaver hacks, so I should leave that to these other packages to figure it out for themselves. > In any case however, I think that the dependencies(i.e. Enhances), at > least on the xscreensaver packages) should be the same for all possible > users (at least, cinnamon-screensaver, gnome-screensaver and mate- > screensaver) And that will not be a problem any longer :) > > btw: I just noticed, that you also mention gnome-screensaver in the > package descriptions...

I have already generalized the text some (in my own tree at least) but I'll go over it and make it consistent, just mention "other screensaver engines" or so.

Or that... and tell the gnome-screensaver guys, that they should Recommend/Suggest your packages directly. In any case however, I think that the dependencies(i.e. Enhances), at least on the xscreensaver packages) should be the same for all possible users (at least, cinnamon-screensaver, gnome-screensaver and mate- screensaver) btw: I just noticed, that you also mention gnome-screensaver in the package descriptions... I think that should also go away then, since gnome-screensaver is in no way more special than e.g. cinnamon- screensaver (or possible others like mate-screensaver). > > > Wouldn't it be better to have cinnamon-screensaver Suggest these > > > packages?

Hi Chris, I can add these, but I am unsure about the usefulness of Enhance here. Wouldn't it be better to have cinnamon-screensaver Suggest these packages? I guess cinnamon-screensaver Recommends xscreensaver-data and xscreensaver-gl already. Cheers, Tormod
