please backport lirc and mythbuntu-lirc-generator to Ubuntu intrepid

[Mario Limonciello]

I'd like to request LIRC 0.8.4a to be backported. It includes support for the command IR II, but enabling this support had the risk of breaking command IR mini, so it was not intended to go into updates or to Intrepid last minute.

Mythbuntu-lirc-generator also needs to be backported because of changes to the lircd.conf handling in the new version.

Here's a build log showing it works:

CommandIR is using this exact same version from the ~superm1 and ~commandir PPAs. This will prevent the necessity of doing so for them (in a more formal way):
