Except that (unless that's actually wrong, but then noone told me in years) task-xfce-desktop is here for install time. It's what we (the Xfce task maintainers, which are also the pkg-xfce maintainers, which is actually just me, but eh…) define as the Debian Xfce desktop. So yes, we *want* light-locker in the default Debian Xfce desktop. But that doesn't mean you can't use something else with the Xfce desktop environment under debian: just remove light-locker. Yes, it'll remove task-xfce-desktop (except that I've never seen it installed after a standard installer run, but I don't do that very often either), but task-xfce-desktop is just a metapackage anyway. I hope the position is clearer now? Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
