Public bug reported:

Please sync irssi-plugin-xmpp 0.53-1 (universe) from Debian unstable
(main)

Looking at LP: 1579545, irssi-plugin-xmpp appears to be completely broken in
Xenial, due to
    1) ABI breakage by a newer version of irssi without corresponding rebuild
       (binNMU) of irssi-plugin-xmpp
    2) Use of multiarch library path in newer version of irssi

Both issues were discussed in #817171 and subsequently fixed in
irssi-plugin-xmpp 0.52+git20160118-2, which unfortunately was not synced to
Ubuntu before the Xenial release.

irssi-plugin-xmpp does not have reverse dependencies, so updating it should
be low-risk. (If you update to 0.53-1 instead of 0.52+git20160118-2, I don't
know how well the daily update process copes with the transition from -dbg to
-dbgsym packages?)

To my knowledge, Yakkety is not affected.
