[...] The upcomming lirc version currently prepared in the packaging svn won't offer that configuration option anymore, so you have to use /etc/lirc/hardware/lircd.conf (be it as a symlink or copying/ creating its contents). LIRCD_CONF has not been honoured at least since squeeze, most likely since lenny already; policy and upstream changes now require even larger changes to the package configuration methods (/etc/lirc/hardware.conf will go away and gets replaced by /etc/default/lirc, which understands a subset of the old hardware.conf syntax with a slightly different vocabulary (no more module loading through the initscript, no LIRCD_CONF/ LIRCMD_CONF)).
