Package: lirc
Version: 0.9.0~pre1-1
Severity: normal

Everytime a new version of lirc comes out I have to recompile it
and reinstall because it does not include for the Iguanaworks USB IR
Transceiver. All that is required for lirc to support this device is for
the file /usr/include/iguanaIR.h to exist at compile time. This file says
"Distributed under the LGPL version 2.1."

Please include the Iguanaworks USB IR Transceiver. http://iguanaworks.net/

PS I'm very confused about why apt says "APT prefers oldstable" below. I
want to use unstable.  Why does it says that I prefer oldunstable I
don't know.
