I guess the package was dropped for karmic because of this bug:

or install jscalibrator, despite it's removal from the lastest ubuntu distro?

I noticed it's quite an old thread. However, you can install jscalibrator from Jaunty's repos. The only thing is there are quite a few packages that need to be installed.
Another thing that you can try is to install "joystick" which includes "some useful tools for using joysticks".
