Bug#835672: xfce4-power-manager: If installed without xfce4-session, fails to lock screen due to missing xflock4 script

[Louis-Philippe Véronneau <pollo@debian.org>]

Version: 4.16.0-1

This still happens in the current unstable.

A "simpler" solution is not to use xfce4-power-manager's screen lock
