I tried to compile the module from the latest release of lirc. The module was built and modprobed successfully (under quantal and wheezy) but the ir device was unusable.
I suppose there is some problem with linux 3.x. It seems that some modules need to be rewritten in order to work properly under 3.x.
As an example I had the same problem with a dvb-usb driver. When the module was rewritten for linux 3.3 the device restarted to work as expected.

Title:
  Module lirc_wpc8769l not provided

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in Debian GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  This driver was provided by lirc-modules-source until natty.
  Now lirc modules are moved to the kernel, by the way there is not any kernel package including lirc_wpc8769l.
  It was forgotten by ubuntu packagers or it was rejected for some reason?
