Yes, but would it actually hurt (well, apart from the work of changing
the packaging) to have them live in /usr/lib/xscreensaver instead
of /usr/libexec/xscreensaver? It seems that the former is what would be
prescribed by the FHS.

Since this came up in the SELinux context, there appears to be some real
value in following the FHS since it would apparently significantly
simplify setting up the policy in a distribution-independent fashion.
