Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lirc

The Mythbuntu Control Centre MCE USB remote configuration failed because
I had another lirc device attached to the computer. The first lirc
device came up as /dev/lirc0 and the MCE USB remote control as
/dev/lirc1. The MCC seems to assume that when configuring the MCE USB
remote control that it will be /dev/lirc0. Therefore, the MCE USB
configuration didn't work out of the box for me (the issue was easily
fixed by modifying the value of REMOTE_DEVICE in
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf). If it were possible to determine what type of
remote each /dev/lirc* corresponds to, then the configuration logic
could perhaps do a better job of assigning /dev/lirc* to REMOTE_DEVICE?
