You are right. You may not install both xscreensaver and xscreensaver-gnome-hacks. By default, gnome uses xscreensaver-gnome which pulls in xscreensaver-gnome-hacks. xscreensaver and xscreensaver-gnome-hacks should both declare the other as CONFLICTs. They are slightly different flavors of the same thing. This really should have been sent to gnome@. The folks there would have probably confimed the situation immediately and, if they have a commit bit, might have fixed it. Please open a PR for this so it will be fixed. -- R.
