With m-a all went fine.

Here is the output from building by hand as mentioned by Readme and
dpkg-reconfigure:
debian/rules binary-modules KSRC=/usr/src/linux/ | tee /tmp/build

---------------------

The generated lirc-modules-_0.8.0-9+Custom.1.00_i386.deb differs much
from the one build by m-a. The paths are wrong and modules could not be
loaded cause wrong module format (other bug report)
Maybe this way is a "relict" from building for 2.4 Kernel-Source?

But then you must change the Readme's.

I send you per PM the generated
lirc-modules-_0.8.0-9+Custom.1.00_i386.deb
to have a look at it.

Thank you!
