Afaik, hasn't been removed actually, but it needs plugin 'Mouse position polling' in CCSM.
http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Showmouse

You may look into preferences of CCSM which plugins are available.

Output of
dpkg -l | grep compiz

extract:
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-main
compiz-gnome
compiz-plugins
compizconfig-settings-manager

Hi Sam
Yes found it.
Its was in compiz plugins.
Strange that some people said it was there and others have to download the plugins.
