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.
