Public bug reported:

In a modern system the mouse cursors should be some kind of scalable
vector graphics.

This will become increasingly important with upcoming new high resolution 
screen panels that allows for higher pixel density.
Other systems are already moving in this direction with vector graphics for 
mouse cursors.

Currently mouse cursors often come in several variants such as 
Chameleon-White-Large, Chameleon-White-Regular, and Chameleon-White-Small. 
Vector graphics could unify this to just one variant that is scalable to 
arbitrary size and provide more flexibility.
This will also be more important as Ubuntu expands to other devices such as on 
10-inch tablets and 52-inch TVs.
