You seem to have gotten your answer on the procedure, but your rationale for
upgrading this particular bug is flawed. The package doesn't render the
system unusable, it's your misconfiguration of PAM that does so.
I've tested gnome-screensaver here and it work fine with this config.
/etc/pam.d/common-auth:
auth sufficient pam_krb5.so ignore_root
auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure
/etc/pam.d/common-account:
account sufficient pam_krb5.so
account required pam_unix.so
Note that the default /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver shipped is misleading; it
doesn't mention that this service will query the authorization functions
("acct") in addition to the authorization functions. You may need to check
there for the source of your authentication problem.
