Ubuntu Screensaver?

I was wondering what Ubuntu uses for screensaver? I tried 6.10 and I love the GL labeled screensavers which I would assume use OpenGL, no? Is there a way I can get these on a Debian system (Etch)?

Thanks for as much info as possible...

I think you are looking for gnome-screensaver.

No, I think I have "gnome-screensaver" and what I want is x-screensaver which I think is what Ubuntu distros use...

Code:
# aptitude (or apt-get) remove gnome-screensaver
# aptitude (or apt-get) install xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl
