I never took time to play with it and find out if I like it or not. Why would an image management program depend on a screen saver? I imagine f-spot may have a feature the allows gnome-screensaver to use the photos that it manages. That would explain the dependancy. It's still a bad idea that will alienate your users who like us prefer a different screen saver package. If that's the case, the author most likely won't consider it a bug but rather a feature. If that's not the case then including gnome-screensaver as a dependancy is surely a bug. I'll be interested to see the final disposition of that bug report. Thanks for filing it.
