  manual insertion agrees:

  $ sudo modprobe lirc_dev lirc_i2c
  FATAL: Error inserting lirc_dev (/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

  I'll now try and build from source.

  Related to Bug #555906, Bug #513042 and Bug #596569, but I filed this
  as new since I believe these are binary modules not built on the fly,
  so the other bug titles don't match this case.
