It's a known bug, with basically three workarounds:

- if you don't need lirc_i2c, simply de-select it 
  (dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source)
- if you are using lirc_i2c, consider to switch to ir-kbd-i2c,
  see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=562512#69
  which is the replacement for lirc_i2c in wheezy+ as well
- if you need lirc_i2c and don't want to use ir-kbd-i2c, 
  lirc-modules-source could be fixed by 
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588027#10

Of course, this situation isn't ideal.
