If your distro refuses to ship current versions of my software, then my
preference is that your distro not ship my software at all.

I'm completely serious. If you're not going to keep xscreensaver up to
date, then I request that you please remove xscreensaver from your
distro.

Title:
  Setting splash to False has no effect on outdated-messages

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 dev with xscreensaver 5.26-1ubuntu3 and currently I'm seeing the message "WARNING: This version is very old!
  Please upgrade!" on every login on my desktop even if the option splash is set to False. Because this message is affected by the option splashDuration I'm assuming it should also be affected by the option splash.
