Title:
  mce remote doesn't work due to out of date lircd.conf.devinput

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a MCE USB IR remote that doesn't work with 12.04 out of the
  box.

  What I did
  * disable lirc and confirm devinput events are received correctly with evtest or ir-keytable -t
  * reenable lirc and configure to operatve via devinput and select the appropriate device
  * start irw and press some buttons on remote

  What I expected to happen
  * irw displays keypresses

  What actually happened
  * Nothing was displayed by irw
  * after rebuilding lirc package with --debug argument passed to configure, the following lines were printed to syslog:
   Jul 26 18:23:11 bedroom lircd-0.9.0[1848]: you are using an obsolete devinput config file: Success
   Jul 26 18:23:11 bedroom lircd-0.9.0[1848]: get the new version at http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput: Success

  I updated that file and irw started sending messages.
