Uh, no, because when you go to delete light-locker, aptitude stops
you because deleting that hard dependency will break task-xfce-desktop.
It sounds like what task-xfce-desktop actually wants to do is depend
on a meta-package ('x-display-locker'?), of which both light-locker and
xscreensaver are members. Then the user could swap out display lockers
without breaking task-xfce-desktop's requirement that there be *a* display
locker of some sort.
