I am running 10.04.1 on an Asus EB1012.  I was able to work around this
with the iguanair deb file that is currently on iguanaworks .net,
iguanaIR-1.0.1-1.i386.deb,  but the lirc package they had there,
lirc_0.8.7~pre3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb, gave a broken install.  I rm'ed it
and used the link above in comment #23, and it works, but it is not
exposed in their downloads section anymore.  I followed their advice to
issue the command "echo lirc hold| sudo dpkg --set-selections", although
I am not sure it will work.  Synaptic shows a bang in the icon button
for lirc.  I will have to wait and see what update manager tries to do
with it.

>From what I gather here there is some problem upstream with including
iguanaIR in Debian.  Is this some sort of purity deal?  Is there some
legitimate reason support is not included?  What is Debian ITP?

I have been using and programming for UNIX for 25 years and even with
all the wonderful features it still takes pretty much of an expert to
get many things running.  I have spent almost two full days to get this
running.
