gnome-screensaver-flags is an extension for gnome-screensaver. gnome-screensaver is the unmaintained GNOME 2 screensaver (see #895477), and was superseded by GNOME Shell's integrated lock screen in about 2010. Presumably gnome-screensaver-flags is not useful without gnome-screensaver, and it will have to be removed from Debian when gnome-screensaver is removed? I'm reporting this bug to give the maintainer advance warning of this. If gnome-screensaver is forked under some other name by an interested developer, presumably gnome-screensaver-flags could be retargeted to be an extension for that fork, instead. Information about replacements seems most likely to appear on #895477. Thanks, smcv
