This issue is still available in 10.10. A manual copy is still needed,
since dkms will not install the module from lirc based on the same
reasons mentioned above.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc

Dkms does not install the lirc_imon.ko from lirc_modules_source when the kernel gets upgraded (in current lucid). The dkms output reads:

lirc_imon.ko:
Running module version sanity check.

Error! Module version 0.6 for lirc_imon.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.32-21-generic (0.6).
You may override by specifying --force.

Fact is that the lirc_imon.ko provided by the default kernel does not work with the following imon controller:

15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller

Manually copying the module built by DKMS solves the problem

sudo cp /var/lib/dkms/lirc/kernel-2.6.32-21-generic-i686/module/lirc_imon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/updates/dkms/

It would be nice if dkms could copy this file regardless of the version available in the kernel (using the -f option?)
