Okay, so some of the Debian folks are saying that this might create more
issues that it would fix.

I'm now in favor of the status quo :)

Okay, sorry, I didn't understand the history there.  I'll go ahead and
put the Debian screensaver in the Ubuntu package.

Compare "Feisty contains a 'Debian Etch' background picture"
, which totally confused me when I 
discovered it.


I'm all in favor of paying tribute to Debian, but I think a screensaver 
would be (and a background picture is) a weird and unhelpful place to 
do it. Ubuntu's Web site, and to a lesser extent its help pages, can 
and do perform this task much more thoroughly.

we never replaced anything here, the 01_ubuntu_floaters.patch just adds
an ubuntu.svg and ubuntu_theme.desktop which are selected by default.

there is the popsqureas screensaver i disabled in the gss package since
we have all the hacks in xscreensaver{-data,-data-extras,-gl,-gl-extras}

we also usually package gnome stuff ahead of debian, i think they didnt
have the floaters patch up until gutsy (i might be wrong here though)

Debian Screensaver

[Ted Gould]

Hello,

Currently in gnome-screensaver we're replacing the Debian logo
screensaver with an Ubuntu Logo one.  I'm thinking we should change that
so that we're just adding the Ubuntu one instead of replacing it.  I
don't think it'll confuse users and it does pay tribute to Debian's
importance to Ubuntu.  I think the Ubuntu logo should still be default.
