Sure enough, GConf no longer has anything under /apps/gnome-screensaver.
The workaround given in that bug, setting
/apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled, works perfectly.  Thanks!

Perhaps gnome-screensaver needs to have a Breaks on versions of
gnome-power-manager without the patch?  This should work:

Breaks: gnome-power-manager (<< 3.0.2-3)
