I was thinking in the first place the upstream developer tarball at
https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/download.html
(or get it from the Debian source package). Compile with -g and -O0.

Now it gets a bit complicated if we don't want to install it, but at
the same time let the built xscreensaver-settings find the
screensavers from the already installed Debian packages, we need to
set the exec-prefix. In this case do not run make install afterwards!

./configure CFLAGS="-g -O0" --exec-prefix=/usr
make -j4
driver/xscreensaver-settings --debug
