This is why we have a debconf question:
Do you want to start or restart GPM while X is running?
Usually, GPM should be started or restarted when it is installed or
upgraded. But when X is running and trying to use the same mouse
device, this can sometimes cause a problem with the X mouse cursor.
Switching to the console and then back to X will usually fix it.
Some time in the past, you answered "yes":

I don't know what else we're supposed to do. Can I close this bug?
