Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lirc

IR-receiver and remote used are not an integrated whole. To be able to
present user friendly options, it would be better in the dpkg configure
screen to first ask about the IR-receiver, and then ask which remote is
used. Right now it assumes that if you have a certain DVB-card IR-
sensor, you also use the supplied remote.

My case: My myth-tv backend has a DVB-card with integrated IR-sensor,
but I use the remote from that DVB-card on my frontend, which has a
homebrew IR-sensor.

** Affects: lirc (Ubuntu)

lirc dpkg-config should split ir-receiver and remote configuration
