(Get the code!)
@seb128: The missing UI refers to the reconfiguration UI which was part of lirc up to 0.9.0. This reflected even older code containing kernel modules where lirc was rebuilt from source depending on configuration. Nowadays lirc is a just a server with configuration files and there is no need to make anything special at configuration time.
There are new tools available to assist in configuration, but these can and should be used after installation.
Bottom line seems to be that the expectation was that nothing is changed. However, it is. The decision to make a breaking change was not taken lightly, it actually took several years, but eventually it became necessary.
