Just checked again: the latest release has autostart file, but it has
wrong session name (fallback vs flashback).

In git snapshot even that is deleted, since
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/commit/?id=1940dc6bc8ad5ee2c029714efb1276c05ca80bd4.

However, my point was if we really need to (auto)start
gnome-screensaver. How many people actually use it?

I don't know how many people use it. But i don't think that is good idea to leave users by default without screensaver. It is used to lock screen.

It does not hurt if user can uninstall it and use alternative screen-saver. That is reason why I wrote it should be safe to remove it from required components.

In case of ubuntu I suggested to move from depends to recommends. As in that case it is still installed by default, but allows user to remove it.

I guess gnome-screensaver is not used in gnome-shell, right? We could ask to re-add autostart file.

What others think about this? Should we remove screensaver from required components? Sebastian? Philipp?
On Ubuntu 14.04:
aptitude why gnome-screensaver
i   gnome-session-flashback Recommends gnome-screensaver

It seems that its already recommended and not required.
