XScreensaver currently does not do this. http://electricsheep.org/index.cgi?&menu=code has a link to a version of xscreensaver that does: http://electricsheep.org/xscreensaver-4.19-passkeys-r2.tar.gz Adding it to the main xscreensaver might not be necessary if the devs want to keep the hacked one separate, but having a dummy xscreensaver package that is satisfied by either xscreensaver-standard or xscreensaver-passkeys (for example) could work.
