Hi,

I've noticed that lxlock and maybe some other part of the LXDE
environment still depends on light-locker. It's currently unmaintained
upstream and we're starting to drop it in Debian/Xfce (we've moved to
xfce4-screensaver).

It seems that it doesn't work with lightdm 1.33 (just uploaded to
unstable) and honestly I won't investigate why and will just ask for
removal at this point, so please drop the dependency (it shouldn't be
too bad since it seems it's just an alternative dependency, but it's the
first so it might have been installed by default on some installations).

Regards,
