Title:
  configure for devinput should show contents of /dev/input/by-id

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

If you have a infra-red remote control that shows up as an input device then doing the configuration stage wants you to pick the correct /dev/input/ interface and does so by showing the contents of that directory.  One member shown is 'by-id' but that is a directory so picking it makes no sense.

But in any event configuration should really show the contents of /dev/input/by-id since the names contained within are stable whereas the various numbered interfaces (input3, event6 etc) are not.
