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

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.
