Just installing hexchat would mean adding a "transitional" package in

Removing packages from bionic:
xchat-gnome 1:0.30.0~git20141005.816798-0ubuntu12 in bionic
xchat-gnome 1:0.30.0~git20141005.816798-0ubuntu12 in bionic
amd64
xchat-gnome 1:0.30.0~git20141005.816798-0ubuntu12 in bionic
arm64
xchat-gnome 1:0.30
