Not sure which package to assign to.

Assigning to the LXDE maintainer, who'll know or find out :-)

Comment 2 Nicolas Salguero 2018-06-19 15:03:14 CEST 
Hi,

I think it is not a bug but a feature of xscreensaver: if it detects a time leap, it locks the screen as a security measure.

Best regards,

Nico.
