This is hardly a bug in update-manager. The output of "aptitude why
gnome-screensaver" on my system indicates that ubuntu-desktop depends on
gnome-screensaver. You may be able to work around this by installing a
dummy equivs package, or perhaps by setting the status of xscreensaver
to "hold". I don't see why your xscreensaver gets removed, though;
nothing in ubuntu-desktop or gnome-screensaver appears to declare a
conflict. Perhaps you could expand on this (and perhaps also link to a
separate bug explaining why you think gnome-screensaver is broken)?
