The irda-utils package was removed in Debian (https:/ /bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 907453) mentioning the lack of kernel support. Checking the upstream kernel repo, the following commit was part of v4.17:

staging: irda: remove the irda network stack and drivers
No one has publicly stepped up to maintain this broken codebase for
devices that no one uses anymore, so let's just drop the whole thing.
If someone really wants/needs it, we can revert this and they can fix
the code up to work properly.

This would mean that no Ubuntu kernel after 18.04/Bionic has kernel support. Proposing to remove this package from Groovy onward.
