---------------
xscreensaver (5.34-2ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes: (Really fix LP: #1406825)
    - debian/control:
      + Breaks/Replaces: the old changes are not needed anymore, but the
        new changes the screensavers sets needs it.
    - debian/rules:
      + Use /usr/share/backgrounds as image directory.
      + Add translation domain to .desktop files.
    - debian/source_xscreensaver.py:
      + Add apport hook.
    - debian/xscreensaver.dirs:

        /usr/share/backgrounds and without it, it displays an error.
    - debian/patch/90_ubuntu-branding.patch: Use Ubuntu branding.
    - debian/patches/60_sequential_glslideshow.patch:
      + Allow going through images sequentially rather than just at random in
        the GLSlideshow hack.
