what happens after wakeup, reassigning to unity8

Title:
  Screen lock and lock screen timeouts are conflated

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1. Set Security & Privacy -> Lock phone to "After 10 minutes"
  2. Lock phone (or wait 10 minutes for it to lock).
  3. Receive a text.

  Expected behaviour: screen turns off very soon after to conserve
  battery (I expect between 5 and 60 seconds).

  Actual behaviour: screen remains on for 10 minutes, draining battery.

  Even worse, if I set the lock to "Never" then after receiving a text
  the screen will never turn off. In this case I expect to take
  responsibility for turning the screen off when I am done using it, but
  I expect the phone not to turn the screen back on when I am not around
  and receive a notification unless the phone does time it out in that
  case.

  I think the screen lock timeout should be completely separate from the
  lock screen timeout. I would like to set 10 minutes or never for the
  screen lock timeout, but I still want the lock screen to time out and
  turn the display off after a few seconds.

  I found bug 1420493 which is in a related area but doesn't refer to
  the lock screen timeout itself. My failure case is a use case about
  battery drain, rather than needing to repeatedly re-enter the
  passcode.
