This driver has been dropped from upstream. It's still available in the
attic/ directory, though.

The version lirc 0.9.4b (zesty - experimental)  dynamically load drivers
compiled out of tree, so compiling the source file is not hard (example
Makefiles are available in upstream). That said, the driver needs a
substantial rewrite to work with current kernels, perhaps a thing beyond
the scope for a distribution in this case.

Title:
  Module lirc_wpc8769l not provided

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in Debian:
  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?
