Once I installed KDE4, oxygencursors got autoinstalled due to
dependencies. Before that, I had no cursor theme installed, therefore
default X cursors got used. Now some ugly black cursors appeared
instead of that.

I tried:
 update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
to specify that no theme should be used

But I see only 37 cursor themes from the oxygen cursors. No way to get
to previous state "no cursor theme used", as oxygencursors are strong
dependency, no way to select "none".

I think update-alternatives should offer "none" as one of the options
in some cases like this one, where not having an alternative installed
is reasonable choice (since then default X cursors get used)
