What preseed will disable the screen saver?

juser at dhcp232:~$ debconf-get-selections --installer > file
juser at dhcp232:~$ debconf-get-selections >> file
juser at dhcp232:~$ grep saver file
# xscreensaver and xlockmore must be restarted before upgrading
libc6	glibc/disable-screensaver	error	
# xscreensaver and xlockmore must be restarted before upgrading
libpam-modules	libpam-modules/disable-screensaver	error	

error? I'll try setting those both to true, but it would be nice to
hear that is correct.

I found the per user setting, which is just fine, only care about the
initial user.

juser at dhcp232:~/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver$ cat %gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
	<entry name="lock_enabled" mtime="1289155742" type="bool" value="false"/>
	<entry name="idle_activation_enabled" mtime="1289156435" type="bool"
value="true"/>
	<entry name="themes" mtime="1289156548" type="list" ltype="string">
	</entry>
	<entry name="mode" mtime="1289156548" type="string">
		<stringvalue>blank-only</stringvalue>
	</entry>
</gconf>


ps, here is my late_command to remove the proxy:

# remove proxy used for install
# squid-deb-proxy-client has been installed for production
# Acquire::http::Proxy "http://cp333:8000/";
sed -i "/^Acquire::http::Proxy/s/^.*$//" $TARGET/etc/apt/apt.conf

I am trying to avoid that kind of thing, but will if that's my only choice.
