The screensavers from xscreensaver data packages don't appear in mate-screensaver. On ArchLinux a hack was used to make this happen [1]. Something similar we should implement in the mate-screensaver Debian package.

I will appreciate it if you could get this change into Debian jessie.

Thanks+Greets,

I just rebuilt xscreensaver on jessie with a slight change in debian/screensavers-desktop.stub: This change results in all xscreensaver screensavers becoming usable via mate-screensaver.
