(Get the code!)
I will point out that the postgresql package is part of Ubuntu main, whereas xscreensaver is in Ubuntu universe. The distinctions between these components of the repository are described at
https:/
Universe is "Community maintained software, i.e. not officially supported software. " In practice, what this usually means is that Ubuntu doesn't touch the software; they just pull whatever Debian has from time to time. (Firas, this is why an Ubuntu patch to remove the warning is not likely.)
As it happens, Debian testing/jessie does have a newer version of xscreensaver (5.30-1+b1 versus Ubuntu's 5.26-1ubuntu3). So that could be brought in, and would squelch the warning for a time longer.
I'm afraid I don't actually know who has to be nudged to make this happen, however. The package does list "Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>" as the maintainer, so if any of you are regulars on that list, bringing it up there may lead to some action. But that's just my best guess.
