Right. Patch very carefully done, and uploaded to jaunty (currently frozen) & PPA. Looks like the rest of the changes aren't required anymore, but i've added back in all the missing changelog entries, added the kubuntu channel patch, and removed the debian one.

Statement explaining the impact:
Users who install konversation on Ubuntu without kubuntu-default-settings installed will be sent to #debian on freenode by default, not #kubuntu.

How the bug has been addressed: Added previous kubuntu patch (excluding the port change, which upstream has taken), and removed the debian patch. The kubuntu patch has been in kubuntu for many months, without problems. Hardy has this patch in it already.

Instructions how to reproduce the bug
Make sure kubuntu-default-settings is not installed. Start konversation. Look at which network it autojoins to (it says freenode), and which channel (it says #debian). Make sure you don't talk in #debian, else the above may happen to you.
TEST CASE: Install version from -proposed. Let it autojoin. See that it joins #kubuntu on 'Ubuntu IRC', whether kubuntu-default-settings is installed or not.

Regression potential: Very low. We have a very similar patch in hardy, with no problems. This is a very simple fix.
