My splash screen before Xfce starts up displays 'Debian 8'. It isn't
really, of course, it's Sid, but it probably still contains a lot of
Debian 8, with a dash of Debian 9 and possibly even hints of 10. I've
been running Xfce for well over a year, and have had no screensaver
trouble, though it would have been configured when Sid was largely
Lenny, or possibly Squeeze. In short, I think your problem is local,
not global.
There's no doubt that Wheezy has needed a lot more maintenance than
Squeeze did, on pretty much the same software set. Presumably the
trend will continue, following the increase in complexity with time.
