-Description: infra-red remote control support - kernel modules
- LIRC stands for 'Linux Infra-red Remote Control'.
+Description: Transitional package for DKMS LIRC modules
+ This package used to provide DKMS versions of LIRC modules, but
+ those no longer work with modern (2.6.38+) kernels such as those
+ shipped with Ubuntu 11.04 or later.
  .
- This package provides the source for the kernel modules to support
- infra-red remote controls under Linux.
- .
- The kernel sources must be installed to compile these modules.
- .
- Also, note that this package is not necessary for usage on Ubuntu since
- the modules are shipped in linux-ubuntu-modules.  It is soley here in
- the case that a local patch needs to be applied.
+ This package can be safely removed as the in-kernel modules supercede it.
