Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc

<j-rod> do you know who maintains the lirc packages for ubuntu?
<superm1> it's a ~mythbuntu team effort to maintain them, but usually ends up being me when i find time
<j-rod> aha
<j-rod> can you *please* add some informative text in hardware.conf and/or whatever twiddles it to explain to users when they actually need that separate TRANSMITTER thing set?
<superm1> in what scenario?
<superm1> it's generally dynamically built 
<j-rod> there's a disgustingly huge volume of questions about screwed up hardware.conf files, where people are setting up two lircd instances when a single one would do -- i.e., when using lirc_mceusb or lirc_zilog
<superm1> it's quite possible the logic is building it wrong
<j-rod> seems a lot of people are hand-editing it too
<superm1> well if that's the case, then yeah some comments in there will hopefully fix the problem for them
