in /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank is a big switch to detect & use the
installed screenserver. it provides a hardcoded priority list in case several
screenservers are avaiable. i love the screen to be locked when suspending but
i would prefere a way where the screenlock package maintainer can provide the
logic how to trigger the screenlock and include this in the "Debian
alternatives system".

the problem hit me cause i installed i3lock (and dropped xtrlock) and lost the
feature.

I think this is beyond the scope of acpi-support. An alternative system could be implemented by the different screensave packages bt not by a package just happening to use the screen savers.

Hi Michael,

yes, for sure you are right but a script like yours make it visible why that's
a good idea. and acpi-support could be the starting point for for the
implementation.

is is possible to add the other packages to this "wish" as a list? or shall i
first of all create wishes against all other packages seen in your script?

regards,
