I upgraded the package to 6.15, pushed to
https://salsa.debian.org/bap/xscreensaver.git and issued a merge
request.

Not sure if I classified the new binaries correctly. Maybe the
distinction with different binaries going in different package should
be dropped, given modern storage sizes? Or the sorting hat could just
scan binaries with ldd at packaging time and decide where to put what.
