As far as getting a good work-around until this bug is resolved, yes, it does :)

"our metapackages dont work that way, i doubt we can do it anyway"

???  AFAIK, any debian package can have "or" requirements; consider apache2 which according to Synaptic:

Depends: apache2-mpm-worker (=2.0.55-4) | apache2-mpm-prefork (= 2.0.55-4) | apache2-mpm-perchild (= 2.0.55-4)

"note also that xscreensaver was sceduled to be demoted to universe and in fact is only in main as a xubuntu dependency"

Well, its nice and convenient that it hasn't been demoted yet, so that the change to ubuntu-desktop can be made ;)

Also might I suggest that xscreensaver shouldn't be demoted until after this bug is fixed :)

I will file a bug on ubuntu-desktop momentarily.
