Unless you NEED to update, don't. potato (unstable) is going to be in for a
rough month. Many new and untested things are coming in.
A possible solution is to download the package source and build it yourself.
Get the xchat orig.tar.gz, dsc and diff.gz. Then do:
dpkg-source -x <file>.dsc
cd to the created dir and type:
debian/rules binary
You will than have your own deb package.
