Hi Bernd, I'm currently working with upstream to re-enable UTF support for ircii - they have reverted the old UTF patch in 2006 for performance reasons.
As IMHO it doesn't make sense to upload a new Debian package that lacks UTF support, I won't change this package in the near future (read: at least two weeks - I'm still waiting for upstream to provide me with the current state of the UTF patch). If you want to get out of the Maintainer: field, feel free to upload an otherwise-unchanged upgrade and change it to me. I'll update this report when news arrive. Jan
