It would appear that there is no entry for chirp on the ubuntu hams
packages page even though the package is indeed part of the PPA.

I have created a Chirp notes page following the splat notes page as an
example.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHamsChirpNotes

I have also added Chirp to the Packages page (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHamsPackage) with a link to the notes page
(again following splat as an example)

Hope this is helpful. Thanks everyone for all your hard work!
