Yeah, that would be a little bit better. but what about this solution: Not calling xdg-screensaver at all do-release-upgrade is a console application. Let the GUIs handle the screensaver if necessary. (And perhaps just by telling the screensaver to disable?)
Also: what about upgrades ran over ssh with X11 forwarding enabled? The queries needlessly consume the (possibly quite limited) bandwidth. another example: I use ubuntu on pandaboard, which has slow SD card, the upgrade-related IO takes long to finish. I am glad I know I have to unset "DISPLAY" to prevent the screen from shining quite bringht whole night.
