Basically, it isn't buggy but requires manual intervention when
updating.

A script called lirc-setup is however broken. It's primary use-case is
fresh installs rather than updates which have no need for it. A
workaround to make it wotk could be found in comment #2.

Some users have had problems with duplicated keys caused by the lirc-
uinput.service running. Stopping the service fixes this (it is not
enabled by default in recent updates).

However, the main problem is users claiming that lirc should work as
before without changes after a fully unattended update. I have done what
I can to describe that this is not the case...

Title:
  LIRC not working on Ubuntu 18.04

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It appears that the LIRC 0.10.0-2 package for Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) is
  not working correctly. The usual configuration menu to select your
  remote does not come up after installing the package.

  Saw some other mentions of this issue as well on the forums:
  https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2396923

  This handy blog post shows a workaround of installing an older version
  (0.9.0) from xenial to get it to work:
