The latest xsreensaver is broken, failing to start on a system where it was
configured to start without the systemd unit.

I endend up with a zombie instead of the expected daemon:

 bjorn@miraculix:~$ ps aux|grep xscreen
 bjorn       2784  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    Dec20   0:00 
[xscreensaver] <defunct>


FWFW, I have "always" been running xscreensaver from a script in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/ with automatic activation on suspend controlled by
some power manager application.  This has worked fine both before and
after switching to systemd.  

Masking the unnecessary systemd unit fixes the issue for me. This
should probably be the default as long as there is no way to do
systemd integration without breaking existing configurations.
