This is caused because the clean chroot has no X installed. This is
unlikely to ever be a practical problem since it makes little sense to
install ‘comixcursors’ without also having the default cursors.

But this is indeed a false assumption on the part of the packaging
scripts, breaking installation into a clean chroot, and this bug is
therefore serious severity. I have made a fix in a new release of the
package.
