sceenblank ignores $SCREEN_LOCK in /etc/default/acpi-support

[Zach]

The screenblank script in /usr/share/acpi-support/ doesn't check the value of the $LOCK_SCREEN variable as set in /usr/default/acpi-support. Even if LOCK_SCREEN is false or not set, the screen gets locked anyway.

Here is a patch to screeblank that checks the value of the $LOCK_SCREEn variable, and if 'true' then uses the -lock option to xscreensaver-command.

Hello Zach, thanks for your report.

I just went to follow this up and found it's already been applied!
