[Pkg-lirc-maint] getting lirc into a usable state again

[Stefan Lippers-Hollmann]

Hi

The attached quilt series (http://sidux.com/slh/lirc/) against current lirc
svn (r247) fixes the most serious issues of the current lirc packages and
includes previously reported patches.

* fix make-kpkg compatibility (Closes: #372815).
* remove devfs support.
* add LSB header to lirc initscript as suggested by Petter Reinholdtsen
  <pere at hungry.com> (Closes: #460212).
* add LSB Description and Short-Description to initscript LSB stanza,
  borrowed from Ubuntu's lirc packages by Mario Limonciello
  <superm1 at ubuntu.com>.
* apply patch from Václav Ovsík <vaclav.ovsik at i.cz> to fix Makefile
  mangling for lirc-source, evaluating utsrelease.h instead of the no longer
  existing version.h and recommend linux-image-$KVERS instead of the
  obsolete kernel-image-$KVERS (Closes: #447172).
* add compatibility patch for kernels >= 2.6.24, based on upstream CVS.
* fix lirc.conf template for pinsys remotes, shortly before lirc 0.8.2 the
  keymapping got broken.
* remove versioned download location from debian/copyright, it's always
  outdated and the base path will point to the download location just as
  well.
* remove custom mknod usage and depend on udev | makedev (>= 2.3.1-85)
  instead (Closes: #393575).
* apply useful indention from Ubuntu to debian/rules.
* Recommend module-assistant | kernel-package for lirc-modules-source.

This ignores any feature additions from 
	svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-lirc/lirc/branches/ubuntu-0.8.2/
and still leaves a lot of open issues that need to be fixed, like the 
inability of using module-assistant as user due to not being able to 
write as user at
	dh_builddeb --destdir=$(KSRC)/..
or the whole debconf usage.

Regards
