Right, I was about to say the same things. If there's not actually a
hard dependency here - if no cursor theme package needs to be installed
for the desktop to run - there should be no dependency, and the dmz
theme should simply be listed in comps. If the dependency is just that
*some* cursor theme needs to be installed, all cursor themes should
provide something like 'cursor-theme' and the dependency should be on
this virtual provide, not on any specific theme.
