I'm sorry, I should have made sure that the file exists. I do have
sid installed but now that I checked, the file isn't there, even
though the gnome-screensaver package is installed. I believe apt-file
has a cache and I guess it doesn't get updated every time the system's
packages get updated. My bad. (Actually, does it every get updated if
one doesn't set up a cron job or do it manually?)
