Doing so, the temporary socket in /run/lirc created by systemd-tmpfiles 
will be missing.

The package description for systemd-shim says: "This package emulates 
the systemd function that are required to run the systemd helpers 
without using the init service"

So, this looks more like a systemd-shim bug to me.

Thoughts?
