Bug Description

Instead of installing xscreensaver, xscreensaver-gl and rss-glx I'd like to
install a single screensaver package that ONLY has the ones we want enabled by
default. There could be a separate screensaver package called screensaver-extras
that has all the others.

it has, locally on my harddisk ... ;) i want to test the package a bit longer
and dont want to risk dapper flight 2 for it ... it will most likely wait until
after dapper flight 2 where i'll do the complete switch to gnome-screensaver
including uploading the split packages... expect an upload the next days

the xscreensaver-data and -gl packaes were split into xscreensaver-data, xscreemsaver-data-extra and xscreensave-gl, xscreensaver-gl-extra packages, the unwanted screensavers are in the -extra packages.
the fix is in xscreensaver 4.23-4ubuntu4
