(Get the code!)
Yes, it does conffile migration (conffile changes were very minimal) and
it does a mkdir /var/run/lirc in /etc/init.d/lirc if it doesn't exist.
I'm not sure how many different machines this has been tested on, but my
package has been very well received in the feedback I've gotten,
including from the upstream lirc maintainers. I wish there were a way
to tell how many people have added the PPA repository.
Given the number of threads and howtos for the IMON hardware alone, I
think this is a very useful update.
