Hi,

I suggest this bug,
#819703 - xscreensaver: please disable "This version of XScreenSaver is very 
old! Please upgrade!" message
only be used to discuss that issue and how to fix it in stable.

To anyone else waiting for that to be fixed in the package, please be
patient for the maintainer to respond about the patch in
https://bugs.debian.org/819703#5, or otherwise for someone else to
do an NMU.

I've filed a separate bug,
#820105 - xscreensaver: please consider removal from sid
regarding the upstream maintainer's request for Debian to stop
distributing xscreensaver, and other concerns about carrying it in
future Debian stable releases.

And there already was a bug,
#802914 - xscreensaver: CVE-2015-8025: crash when hot-swapping monitors while 
locked
where that security issue was discussed, and backported to Debian
squeeze-lts, wheezy and jessie a long time ago.

Thanks,
Regards,
