Bug#1005349: joystick: jscal needs an option to not continue with any button

[Mikko Tuumanen]

Package: joystick
Version: 1:1.7.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

jscal asks user to move axis to a position and push any button.
This causes a problem when a trigger of a gamepad is both axis and a
button. In this case when user pulls the trigger, a button event is sent
and jscal continues before user has had a change to move the trigger to
the requested position. The problem appears with ZEROPLUS P4 Wired Gamepad.

I wrote a patch to add -b option to jscal to choose one button to use as
the continue button.
