Lars,

Xscreensaver was removed from Lubuntu starting at version 13.10:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lubuntu-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg01103.html

So if package xscreensaver was removed starting at 13.10, I believe we're
going to 14.04 without it too.

Maybe Julien knows more about at his blueprints.

Regarding #1205384, according to our "boss" at coment #29:
The lightdm locking facility is an unfinished work, and lack a proper way
to lock the session, it started at the begin of the cycle, and was a bit
forgotten later in the development.

More at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1205384/comments/29

So the bugs are close if not the same affecting different Lubuntu
versions... I believe the devs are trying to figure out a way to make
lightdm + lock work at 14.04 to backport to 13.10.

Best regards,
