Thanks for your attention and time for this bug!

Launchpad keeps a pretty good history of previous revisions, at:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xchat-gnome/1:0.15-0ubuntu1

(just a heads-up, the orig.tar.gz is in a different directory than the
rest of the things, so dget won't work. You need to manually download
the three.)
