Oh, sorry, I checked again and I see that this directory is owned by
xfonts-base on my system, but only because I had an older version of the
package installed before and the conffiles weren't removed on upgrade.
So the current version of the package doesn't ship /etc/X11/fonts/misc, and
it's not an error for this directory to be missing. What matters is that
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ is present, and includes the reference to cursor
in fonts.dir there.
