That was the first change(#469204). Then a couple of weeks later,
kdeartwork failed to build from source because of changes in
xscreensaver (#474898).
And in the past (probably before you took over xscreensaver) there has
also quite recently been #436364.
kdeartwork is very dependant on xscreensaver and changes in there. This
is why I ask for a rebuild of kdeartwork before each xscreensaver upload
so that we can be warned in advance about changes instead of only
catching it on next full rebuild of the archive.
Maintainers need to take more care of their reverse dependencies.
