 xfce4-session recommends light-locker, but also xfce4-screensaver: 
  
 rec: light-locker 
     simple screen locker for lightDM display manager 
 or xfce4-screensaver 
     screen saver and locker that is integrated with the xfce4 desktop 
 or xscreensaver 
     Screensaver daemon and frontend for X11 
 or mate-screensaver 
     MATE screen saver and locker 
  
 Would it cause light-locker to be installed if task-xfce-desktop is no 
 longer pulling light-locker?
