What about this patch? It checks whether the md5 of the lirc/hardware.conf 
conffile installed on the system matches the md5 of the file as modified by the 
postinst in an automatic install. If that is the case, it sets the file back to 
the content as shipped in the .deb package so that dpkg doesn't detect the file 
as modified.

I reproduced the bug in pbuilder and the bug disappear when using this patch.

Best regards,

Thomas
