So the bug here should be against ubuntu-desktop since it depends on a broken package?
Unity scared me away when I did the upgrade, and I didn't even bother to realize I could still use the old interface, so I restored my imaged Maverick install. I don't think I'll bother with Natty, might even go back to Lucid LTS when I full-disk encrypt with /boot on a USB key. But I thought xscreensaver got removed by the updater. Maybe it just forced gnome-screensaver on me, which is mildly upsetting, and could have caused a false memory.
gnome-screensaver is broken and will not be fixed:
