Hock, thanks for this! Can you please forward this to Debian? It doesn't
need to go to "real" upstream, as this is only a packaging change. But
it should be reported as a Debian bug with the patch, see
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

Please note that your branch changes #DEBHELPER# into the dh_installinit
generated code, which should not be done. Please exclude that from
forwarding (I'll do that for sponsoring).

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

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  New
Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New
Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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.
