I just got mail that xlockmore will be purged in the next debian release.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690891

The reasons aren't detailed, I found only those:

There is one serious bug: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472076
But it doesn't really state WHAT should be fixed.

and one marked as CVE: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=318123
That xlock doesn't seem to work with smartcards or something?

And then a few for-years running bugs, which don't seem hard to fix.
Like this one.
