Yeah, I don't think any cursor package should be setting the default on 
its own.

Looks like a bug. Most people don't notice because they have a cursor 
theme set in the preferences of their desktop environment and thus the 
"default" symlink does nothing. But that doesn't mean it should be set 
by a package.
