Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.04-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Launching xscreensaver-demo gives this:

$ xscreensaver-demo 
antmaze: couldn't allocate color black: using black.
antmaze: couldn't allocate black either!

When xscreensaver timeouts and tries to launch a screensaver it also
crashes the X server.

An strace reveals that xscreensaver tries to read /usr/lib/X11/Xcms.txt
which is not available in any of the Debian packages
