lirc-modules-source package doesn't install the /etc/lirc/lirc-modules-source.conf file.

Confirm in lirc-modules-source 0.7.1pre2-11ubuntu1 on i386.

I think in lirc-modules-source.postinst need to invert file check to:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ ! -f /etc/lirc/$package.conf ]; then

lirc-modules-source.postrm contain duplicite content.

I confirm that the compilation of lirc modules is impossible with actual ubuntu lirc-module-source package.
Compilation is possible, without any other modifications, with the lirc-module-source 0.8.0-3 of the debian unstable.

the debian package is fine except for the lirc_gpio driver which doesn't compile correctly with the ubuntu kernel. I made the necessary modification and uploaded the package to revu. see bug #35456

@Yann: I'm still using your package taken from revu. It builds fine using m-a, no kernel sources needed. The one which was recently backported (0.8.0-9) I'm unable to build. I've lost my patience...

The only annoying thing about your package is that I had to mark it "on hold", otherwise autoupdate wanted to update it :), but it's simple enough to fix.

Lirc is really an unfortunate package in Dapper. Well (IMHO) Dapper is a bit unfortunate/stagnant/unloved, but it's just my oppinion, hopefully the next
LTS will be in a better shape).

@Wiktor: I'm glad that at least someone use my package, I didn't work for nothing !

I agree with you for Dapper, unfortunately I am already on edgy, and personnaly I still don't have time to try to improve the lirc-modules-source package in dapper and to try to convince some MOTU to upload it.

This appears to be fixed in edgy.

As pointed out in bug #28941 by darthanubis (thanks!), this is still an issue. I have just been able to reproduce it by moving /etc/lirc away and running sudo m-a lirc-modules-source using the lirc-modules-source package found in gutsy.

Duh.

It's quiet normal that it stops working once I remove the config file, huh?

Please ignore my changes..
