whereas xscreensaver is in Ubuntu universe. The distinctions between
these components of the repository are described at

Universe is "Community maintained software, i.e.
Your statement is simply false. This _is_ how Ubuntu works for some
packages, e.g., PostgreSQL. Why should it not work with xscreensaver?
