Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.123-1
Severity: minor
Second line of /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank is:

Please note that xscreensaver-command has no -throttle option.
(XScreenSaver version 5.10)
What was the intention of this?
Regards.

I'm sorry, but this does not seem to be true. Throttle is not documented and it
is considered deprecated but it is still available:
mich...@feivel:~$ xscreensaver-command -throttle
xscreensaver-command: throttled.
Here's what the source says:
/* Note: The "-throttle" command is deprecated -- it predates the XDPMS
extension. Instead of using -throttle, users should instead just
power off the monitor (e.g., "xset dpms force off".) In a few
minutes, the xscreensaver daemon will notice that the monitor is
off, and cease running hacks.
