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.

Dear Maintainer,
Installing big-cursor package did not change the default
cursor on two systems I maintain (sid, Ubuntu LTS) where X
is started with startx.
Big-cursor was not offered as a choice when I ran:
update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
I resolved the issues by editing
/etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme.
If this approach is suitable, perhaps it could be documented
in README.Debian:
For some systems it may be necessary to edit
/etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme as follows:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=big-cursor
Thank you.
