xchat is back, and Gianfranco wants to keep it.
Also, I see little value in a transitional package or similar when they
can't be upgraded from one to the other seamlessly. I'm therefore
closing both tasks.
** Changed in: hexchat (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Changed in: xchat
Technically, there really isn't a default IRC client in Ubuntu so I'm
closing the ubuntu-meta task.
My previous comment should be "hexchat is *NOT* currently in main*.
I'm keeping the bug open because there's a suggestion that hexchat
should provide a transitional package to upgrade xchat users
hexchat currently uses gtk2 and I don't think we want any more gtk2
dependencies added to main.
hexchat is currently in main so it would need to complete the Main Inclusion
Process.

But you'll need to talk to the Ubuntu Desktop team about whether
It seems HexChat is removed from Ubuntu 16.04 repositories.

I marked my bug as "fix released", but I am not sure if I should do it
here as I haven't done the removal or reported this bug and this seems
to be reported against two packages/projects.

+ Make Hexchat the default IRC client instead of XChat in Ubuntu 14.10 and
later versions
