So you actuallu missed my point, sorry. There's no such thing as “XFCE” (btw
it's Xfce). What we are talking about here is task-xfce-desktop which is
tasksel task representing “the default Debian Xfce desktop, as installed by d-
i”.

One stuff which might represent “Xfce” here is the 'xfce4' metapackage, which
doesn't have any relationship to light-locker but Depends on xfce4-session.
xfce4-session itself has a Recommends: on light-locker, and you can safely
remove it without removing xfce4-session (and xfce4 metapackage).

I think we can end the conversation here.
