As far as I can say after downloading the source packages for licq and
xchat from sid, they are not compiled with --enable-hebrew.

Basically, stable = Woody + security updates. Therefore, in general, no
package will enter stable until Sarge will be officially released, which
will make stable refers to it. A package that was accepted to the debian
archive enters unstable, also known as Sid. If there are no problems
with it as well as with the packages it depends on, it is then copied to
testing, which is also called Sarge. It seems that licq is always broken
in some way and that it was never released by Debian, nor it has entered
testing.

Some maintainers preferred to be contacted by issuing bug reports on
matters such as this. I believe a bug report is better then a private
email. In addition, unless there is high urgency to get their upload
into testing, what is likely to happen is that they will upload to
unstable, replace the current unstable version and let it flow into
testing.

I don't recall explicitly configuring this feature. I am using mutt
+ vim and it seems that the the signature inclusion, together with the
"--" string came out of the box.
