Hello maintainer,
While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package)
check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making
use of a bashism.
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./etc/init.d/lirc line 15 (local foo=bar):
> local MODULES_MISSING=false
> possible bashism in ./etc/init.d/lirc line 45 (local foo=bar):
> local ARGS="$*"
Not using bash as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or unexpected
behaviours.
Please be aware that although
bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a release goal for Lenny to
make dash the default /bin/sh[1].
If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:

HINT: sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS

Thank you,

Please don't mass bugfile without reading what you're reporting. The
use of local is non-POSIX, but supported by dash. Policy 10.4 allows
the ability to use local in the ways that the init script uses it.
You've been asked to be more careful in what you're reporting before.
It's not that I don't appreciate QA efforts, but filing spurious bugs
doesn't help anyone and wastes quite a bit of time when spread across
the distribution this way.
