I asked that this request is dismissed. I believe my package is superior to the 
other cursor package including the one mentioned. 


>From my comment on AUR:

This package is not a duplicate of cursor-appimage. They use different source 
artifacts and have different packaging approaches:

cursor-ide-bin extracts from the official .deb release, installs to standard 
FHS paths (cursor), includes shell completions, MIME types, and appdata, has a 
complete dependency list (10 runtime deps + 3 optional), and uses the correct 
SPDX license identifier.

cursor-appimage extracts a squashfs from the AppImage into opt, is missing 
several dependencies (libdrm, mesa, dbus, libsecret, libxkbfile), and ships no 
completions or MIME types. Multiple packages for the same upstream software 
using different source formats is standard on the AUR (e.g. firefox-bin vs 
firefox). The AUR wiki explicitly allows this.
