Hi Ernst,
  Thank you for taking the time to open a bug and submit a patch.  I don't have access to upload the fix, but I've taken your patch and pulled it into the Ubuntu packaging format at lp:~smoser/ubuntu/natty/lirc/lp-698208 .  In the future, making changes to the debian packaging yourself makes less work for the Ubuntu developer trying to upload your fixes (ie, start from 'bzr branch lp:ubuntu/lirc).

  I've also pushed a build of that source package to my ppa at
https://launchpad.net/~smoser/+archive/ppa/+packages .

  I think this is ready to pull in, and it is in the sponsorship queue,
so someone should be taking a look at it sometime soon.

Title:
  lirc init script doesn't disable other methods on natty

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  In natty the sysfs interface has change a bit so there's no longer a devices/virtual/rc.
  The following patch seems to solve it!

  diff --git a/etc/init.d/lirc b/etc/init.d/lirc
