I suppose it should only mention Gnome if it actually uses Gnome libs, or if integrates with gnome properly.

I would file a bug if Squeeze/Gnome were recommending xscreensaver. Anyway, it doesn't matter to mention xscreensaver in the description, the package will depend on it, isn't it? > >- which "historical games of go" are replayed?

Even though this is possible, I suppose that very few users will do it, so it isn't the main feature. So, maybe something like: "This is a screen saver that replays some games of go (aka wei-chi and baduk). The pre-recorded games shipped in the packages were recorded during various tournaments" (please review this description carefully, especially the statement in the second sentence). Feel free to improve/rewrite my suggestions.
