This is being forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/376504 - David Weinehal wrote:

"If the clock is adjusted more than the blank timeout (for instance if
the system time has been lost and is restored using ntpdate), the
screensaver is enabled, despite that the fact that the elapsed real
time is only a few seconds.

Timeouts of this kind should not be RTC-based, since the timeout is
not related to wall-clock time.  The monotonic system clock should be
used."
