[Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#676343: var/run/lirc contents disappear due to subtle udev interaction

This should be fixed upstream. Recent upstream uses systemd with socket
activation. Basically, this means the the socket is created at an very
early stage by systemd and then handed to lircd. There is no cleaning of
the socket taking place. Together, this means that the scenario
described here shouldn't happen.

That said, as upstream I am not convinced that the very idea to start
lircd from udev is reasonable.
