The bug is misfiled. GNOME Screensaver doesn't contain any of the
actual screensavers in the package. All of the actual screensavers are
in xscreensaver-data and xscreensaver-gl and rss-glx. GNOME Screensaver
is the wrapper for configuration and dialogs.

Try:

$ dpkg -l *screensaver*

Okay, I've been able to recreate this. I think that this problem is
fixed in the latest packages. I have some newer ones that are marked
for Hardy in my PPA, but they should work fine for Gutsy. Could you
please install the xscreensaver* packages in my PPA:
