The latest package in Debian was 2.2-9, but you can get an earlier incarnation at http://archive.debian.org/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/misc/ical_2.2-2.deb .
There's always a possibility of reviving it.

ICAL - why not cotinue to use it?

I have gone almost exactly the same route as the Editor, and I have
considered (even tried, probably, I don't remember now) to use it
as unpackaged from /usr/local. The trouble is it is a Tk app, and Tk
keeps changing at a scary pace (ask the Debian Tk maintainer), so at some point it is almost guaranteed to break with the current Tk and require one that is no longer in Debian, if it has not happened already. In fact the reason why apt decided to remove it was probably it needed to get rid of the underlying Tk.
