If you want to change the default cursor theme first you need to install one of the available cursor themes

crystalcursors
dmz-cursor-theme
xcursor-themes
comixcursors
Chameleon-custor-theme
Big-cursor

For example i am installing crystalcursors

#aptitude install crystalcursors

This will complete the installation.

Now you need to run the update-alternative to set/change the current cursor-theme, when prompted give the number of the theme and press enter.

#update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
