manual insertion agrees:

$ sudo modprobe lirc_dev lirc_i2c
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_dev (/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I'll now try and build from source.

Related to Bug #555906, Bug #513042 and Bug #596569, but I filed this as
new since I believe these are binary modules not built on the fly, so
the other bug titles don't match this case.
