I'd encourage the screensavers to be packaged as:

xscreensaver-blank
allotherscreensavers.

I abhor ALL screensavers as they frequently cause lockups on odd video
cards. I'd love to remove all the 'fun' ones and just have
screenblank+lock in xscreensaver.

Do you think that would be permissable? Still have all the fun ones
default to installed but be removable.
