Official Debian IRC channels
The hostname irc.debian.org is an alias for irc.oftc.net. That means that the official Debian IRC channels are on the [http://www.oftc.net/ OFTC IRC network]. Note that [http://www.debian.org/News/2006/20060604 Debian moved to OFTC] quite recently, so some debianized IRC programs may still seem to suggest that some other IRC network would be the IRC network for the official Debian IRC channels.
