Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  I have a bzr branch with an updated lirc for 0.8.6 here:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~jyoder/+junk/lirc-CVS

  And a PPA here:
  https://launchpad.net/~jyoder/+archive/ppa

  I would like this considered for a FeatureFreeze exception to Karmic.
  This release fixed NUMEROUS issues with the iMON drivers along with
  other issues.  I've been promoting my PPA for over a month now with
  very good feedback.

  This package also cleans up the debian directory structure a lot,
  making support of new releases in the future much easier.  It builds
  cleanly/installs/and upgrades.

  NOTE:  Kernel updates to the LIRC modules will also be required to
  include this in Karmic, but I think it's well worth it for the vast
  improvement in HTPC user experience.

  Changelog from 0.8.6:
