So what I'm going to end up doing is making the base xscreensaver
package have a small number of screensavers, and then have an additional
package for the more fancy ones.
Have you already decided how to tackle the "how can xscreensaver hacks
packages be dropped in simply" problem I outlined in one of my last
posts?
I've already messed around with adding hacks to
/usr/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/XScreensaver (in the course of packaging
rss-glx for Fedora) and this is neither fun and nor reliable ;-) -- you
need to deal with any of {xscreensaver base package,random xscreensaver
extra hacks package} being {installed,removed,updated}. I'd vote very
much for some /etc/xscreensaver/hacks.d directory where extra hacks
pacvkages can simply drop their configuration.
