Some packages can be kept around for a long time after they've been
removed from 'main'. The dependency chain and any conflicts with newer
libraries will dictate success or failure. I've often "held" a package
('=' in the aptitude UI) to keep from losing it and eventually it and
what it depends on are placed in the "Obsolete and Locally Created
Packages" section of the aptitude UI.
When Groff 1.23 hits in Trixie, I know that an included utility called
"groffer" will be removed. To keep it I will copy it over from the
cloned groff repository I have locally. Sometimes a man's gotta do what
a man's gotta do...

I can't really say what it is I like about hexchat and dislike about other IRC clients, except to say that it just seems to work the way my brain does. I don't actually use IRC very much any more, but I would like to know that it's there when I want/need it. Anyway, for now I think I will just continue to use hexchat for now. It works . . . for now.

I enjoyed using Konversation from the KDE Project. I think it's pretty good! irssi is quite nice too if you don't mind using the terminal.

That information might also inspire the Developers of the remaining chat clients, too. Which then reminds that there's also "reportbug" with its wishlist bug reports "--severity" option. Wishlist could be used to let programs know there are features that could be added to what's already awesome about their current offerings. Pointing Developers at existing open source code would help. Seeing this as a sign to start poking around at Debian programming oneself would be fabulous. I'm actually about to point "generative AI" at deprecated code myself because *some* folks are having luck with that newfangled option making their lives easier.

:( Well, it seems that hexchat is being discontinued. IMHO, it is/was the only IRC client that was actually usable. Any recommendations for a GOOD alternative?
