The thing is that the default lirc configuration assumes that there is a 
IR remote supported by the kernel available. There are many options in 
this case:

   - If you don't plan to use lirc, removing the package is the sensible 
approach.
   - If you plan to use lirc at a later point, you could disable and 
stop lircd.service and lircd.socket using systemd.
   - If you want to use lirc as of now, you need to configure it. Doing 
so, this message is sort of helpful in some cases.


So, unless there is more input, I will close this as not-a-bug.
