[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#819763: Please drop or demote dependency on xscreensaver packages

[Michael Biebl]

Package: cinnamon-screensaver
Version: 2.8.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

please consider removing the recommends on
 xscreensaver-data
 xscreensaver-data-extra
 xscreensaver-gl
 xscreensaver-gl-extra

or at least demoting it to suggests, so those packages aren't installed
by default.
cinnamon-screensaver is perfectly usable without xscreensaver and most
users will be perfectly fine with the default cinnamon screen locker.
Installing the above 4 packages pulls in a whopping 30+ MB here, so
trimming the footprint of a default cinnamon installation will be
appreciated.

Regards,
Michael
