Bug Description

xchat-gnome came up today in a discussion of main components that aren't ready for openssl 1.1.

"Ubuntu-only package (dropped in Debian, dropped subsequently in Ubuntu, then
brought back). Did not ship in yakkety or zesty; when restored in artful it
went straight to main because it was still seeded, but it's unclear this was
ever reviewed by the Desktop Team or whether they want this package still in
main. (The re-uploader is not a member of the Desktop Team.)"

xchat-gnome is seeded in the supported-desktop-extra seed.

Do we still need an IRC desktop client in main? (irssi is in main)

I think we'll actually remove this - it's not been in Debian for ages and was reintroduced in Ubuntu after being removed in the yakkety cycle.

Any objection?
