This is caused by changed behaviour in the ImageMagick rendering to the PNG
components.

The generated images should have (and did have in previous versions) a 100%
alpha channel with the cursor shadow.

The package build process hasn't changed, but the changed ImageMagick
behaviour now instead produces a solid black background rendered grey from
semi-transparency.

To reproduce:

* Use the ‘imagemagick’ package from Debian Jessie (currently ‘imagemagick’
  version 8:6.7.7.10-5).

* Build the cursors from source by running the ‘./bin/build-cursors’
  program.

* View the component PNG images in ‘build/’.

  Each image (e.g. ‘default.png’) has a solid semi-transparent grey
  background.

  Each “shadow” component image (e.g.
  ‘default.RightHanded.48.#000000.0.7.shadow.png’) is a solid
  semi-transparent grey image. These should, instead, each be a shadow
  outline of the source cursor image.

One way to fix this is to change the ‘comixcursors’ build scripts to work
around the changed behaviour of ImageMagick.
