Like mentioned in my former reply I don't see any need for that - and
the other IRC clients shouldn't neither. There is no common interface.
Historically there was an irc alternative handling in the packages which
got removed a long time ago because of a missing common interface
between the clients - and the Provides should have got removed back
then, too.
If you disagree wildly feel free to reopen the bugreport but pretty
please do so with a reason and an answer to the question of what good it
would be for. There isn't a single package in the pool that has either a
Depends or Recommends or Suggests on irc.
Thanks,
Rhonda
