== Detailed specification ==
For a while now, Xchat hasn't been actively developed so I'm proposing we switch to the fork that seems quite active.

Pros:
 * Activly Developed.
 * Already has more features, such as built-in SASL support.
 * In the default repositories.

Cons:
 * Have to edit the seed.

Question: Can we set it so that the default channel is #xubuntu for us?

Answer: Not really, not using the same repo as Ubuntu.  It doesn't autojoin you to #ubuntu, it'll only recommend that channel when you connect to Freenode.
