You must not have read my whole message!  In any case, the old artwiz cursor is not compatible with xorg 7.0.  Either just the paths have been moved around, or xorg 7.0 no longer supports setting the cursor by replacing the pcf font file in favour of the newer, better libxcursor.  We should file a separate bug report upstream to convert the artwiz cursors to the icon format compatible with libxcursor.

BTW--the easiest way to repackage is to apt-get source <package>, remove the update-alternatives line, then dpkg-buildpackage again from that.  It won't help you at all in this case, however, other than letting the package install cleanly (and do nothing).
