If your hardware doesn't need lirc_i2c, the easiest way would be to 
disabled lirc_i2c from getting built (dpkg-reconfigure 
lirc-modules-source), if your device is i2c based, you can switch to 
ir-kbd-i2c (provided by squeeze's kernel 2.6.32; lirc_i2c has been 
totally replaced by ir-kbd-i2c in current kernels). An alternative way
is decribed in #588027.
