Indeed that problem has also been reported to Debian
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860296

The maintainer there is not really helpful acknowledging it's an issue
though and argue the users who don't have the hardware should
disable/remove lirc. The component is not installed in Ubuntu by default
but seems like KDE can pull it in.

Could be worth reporting upstream

  This is not only annoying as it makes it difficult to use the syslog
  for checking the system, but also it writes too much data into the log
  (18MB each day). Also it keeps the hard disc awaken what is bad for
  standby.

  Kubuntu 18.04
  ii  liblirc-client0:amd64 0.10.0-2     amd64        infra-red remote control support - client library
  ii  liblirc0:amd64        0.10.0-2     amd64        Infra-red remote control support - Run-time libraries
  ii  lirc                  0.10.0-2     amd64        Infra-red remote control support - daemons and utils

  I do not have infrared remote control hardware. But I cannot purge the
  packages as other packages I want to keep would be removed as well.
  Deactivating the services in systemd does not help (or I am doing
  something wrong?)
