Bug#457858: lirc-modules-source does not build, ever

[Nathanael Nerode]

Package: lirc-modules-source
Version: 0.8.0-13
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

This has now been true for months.

Please stop producing the lirc-modules-source package if you cannot make it
compile properly.

This bug IS grave. I'm sorry.
