Searching for screensaver yields 2 apps and 39 technical items on a fresh install for me. But xscreensaver is hidden as a technical item. A fix for this would be to make xscreensaver a applicaiton by adding the appropriate desktop file. However there is a risk here that people end up with 2 screensavers (gnome-screensaver, xscreensaver) that start fighting over each other.
