Bug#553529: xscreensaver: Fake crash screensaver should not be enabled by default

Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.05-3
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

The fake crash screensaver causes users who don't know about it to panic and
reboot the system, without necessarily hit other keys first, thereby
potentially causing data loss.  It's really a bad idea to have something that
look like a fatal error and says to reboot, for a user who is not expecting it.
