I have not been able to reproduce this issue in _Lenny_. With
irssi/0.8.12-6 and irssi-plugin-silc/1.1.4-1+b1 on amd64 and i386, the
plugin worked fine.
I do confirm #522080 on testing and unstable though: the plugin does
segfault when used with irssi 0.8.13.
If you are using irssi/0.8.13-1~bpo50+1 from backports.org, the segfault
probably does happen as well, but this does not concern the status of
irssi-plugin-silc in Lenny: backports.org is unrelated to Debian
official stable releases.

The "official" silc client (delivered in the silc binary package) is a
fork of irssi. If the security team thinks this is bad enough, we can
stop providing the silc binary package.
The irssi plugin is currently built from the same headers. Building it
using irssi-dev is the proper fix for #522080. I will spend some time
working on this soon.
