LWN.net wrote about the removal of ical and alternatives some time
ago:
"Creatures of habit, perhaps, should not run Debian unstable on their
desktops. Your editor has learned to scrutinize every dist-upgrade
carefully before turning it loose, but he missed the one that deleted
ical from his system. Some investigation turned up that, in fact, ical
has not been part of Debian for some time; it had been removed as
being obsolete, unmaintained, and superseded by better
alternatives. ical was able to continue to exist for years, however,
until some recent change in unstable forced its removal."
