This was done for some packages, but not all. Python is one of the packages which hasn’t been updated for HF. And since the screensaver extension has a dependency on python, it also doesn’t work.

So until a developer releases a HF compatible version of python, not much can be done. If you guys are technically inclined you can try to build it yourself; otherwise for older devices there’s also a possibility to downgrade to 5.16.2.1.1 (the last non-HF firmware) and thus avoid the whole HF issue.
Seems the python extension has been rebuilt for hardfloat firmwares. I'd be happy to rebuild the screensavers hack against this new build and post it here, if there are any instructions out there.
