Bug Description

With the installed package the following appears in syslog:

systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/inputlirc.service:4: Failed to add dependency on udev, Ignoring: Invalid argument
systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/inputlirc.service:4: Failed to add dependency on lircd, Ignoring: Invalid argument

I have fixed this by changing the 'After:' line in the referenced inputlirc service file to:

After=system-udevd.service lircd.service
Wants=system-udevd.service

No errors in syslog. Inputlirc runs normally.

Note that I also have ir-keytable and lirc installed, though this should not affect the issue.

I think we should remove the dependency to lircd.service completely.
