Also note: this is not WISHLIST importance.  It is CRITICAL.

If I had not been the first one to spot this behavior on my system, I
could have faced disciplinary action and possibly lost my job.  At a
minimum, IT's response would have been immediately to lock-down all
"non-standard" installs which includes a host of other tools like
wireshark, firefox beta, chrome beta, soapui, etc. that are much more
important to my work than screensavers.  Having to individually justify
every single package from a source (because we can't trust that source)
is too much to expect... we'll just default to supported platforms like
Windows with a contract guarantee.  This may not be an enlightened
response, but it is the likely response.

To treat the effect of this in such a cavalier way is to severely
misunderstand the Ubuntu professional population on the front lines of
adoption and IMHO cripples and subverts the outreach effort for Ubuntu.
You really should take this problem seriously.
