There are a lot of unrelated problems reported in this bug. The original problem was this:
ls: cannot access /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc:
  No such file or directory

The solution to this would be to patch lirc.postinst to look in /lib/modules/$KERNEL/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc

A debdiff for lirc is attached which should fix the original issue of this bug.

For the other problems described, you should consider support forums, mailing lists, or opening a new bug.
