Sorry for the late but this would directly modify the files installed in the xcursor-themes. I found another way which should be suitable:
1. Install xcursor-themes 2. "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" 3. Select "/etc/X11/cursors/core.theme" Then the cursor fall back to the X11 cursor which can be provided by this package, or the default cursor by X11.
