Bug Description
Binary package hint: xchat
XChat 2.8.6
A multiplatform IRC Client
Linux 2.6.27-7-generic [i686/1.00GHz/SMP]
Charset: UTF-8 Renderer: Pango

I'm using Xubuntu Intrepid liveCD, and upon launching XChat, it joins #debian and their irc server (not freenode).
... Why? ;P
I can imagine a newbie getting embarassed when he realizes he is in the wrong channel. Oops.

We are seeing quite a few users of the xubuntu 8.10 livecd ending up in #debian on oftc:
[17:16] <dakun> im testing my sound, im running live cd of xubuntu 8
[17:16] <dakun> 8.10
[17:17] <themill> dakun: xubuntu is not debian, so you're in the wrong place -- try #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net
[17:17] <dakun> this is the server xchat took me to
[17:17] <dakun> i know ubuntus not debian
[17:18] <themill> dakun: so with the xubuntu live-cd, you end up in #debian by default when you fire up xchat?
[17:19] <dakun> i guess, i just let it connect whatever was selected first
Ubuntu users are generally not welcome in #debian and this is probably not going to change, so we should prevent them ending up there by accident.
