I can confirm the issue on a recently fresh installed Ubuntu Server
18.04. The goal was to transform the installation to a HTPC running kodi
and tvheadend (hts). Here are some links to guys who had the same
experience and offer a workaround until the fix of the package.

Same experience:

Title:
  lirc broken on 18.04

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Lirc 0.10.0-2 is never configured after installation. Manually running
  "dpkg-reconfigure lirc " also does not do anything. I also noticed
  that /usr/share/lirc/remotes is empty, which is where I had my config
  file for Ubuntu 16.04.

  This was an upgrade install from 16.04.
  Searching the web indicates others have this problem. Some have reverted to the lirc from 16.04. Others recommend using pip3 to install lirc 0.10.10, but I have been unsuccessful so far.
