Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-lirc-generator

In Natty 11.04 (possibly other versions affected as well), when
configuring lirc to use "Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX)" it
updates /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to read the devinput/lircd.conf.devinput
file, which contains two remote setups, one normal, and one "legacy
32-bit".

Because there are two remote setups in there, when running mythbuntu-
lircrc-generator it parses the file and generates two duplicate sets of
controls in the lircrc output files. Every button press on the remote
control is then entered twice.

In the short term, can be manually resolved by editing either
lircd.conf.devinput or the generated lircrc files to remove duplicates.

Fix could be to have mythbuntu-lircrc-generator check that each key
hasn't already been defined when generating the lircrc output files.

** Affects: mythbuntu-lirc-generator (Ubuntu)
