lirc does not spam the log if correctly configured. The repeated
messages is a actually a feature since it's an easy way to detect status
when configuring and hot-plugging a device.
The basic issue here is if lirc is pulled in as a dependency. It should
not, it's designed to be used by users
So, now it's been two years since I first encountered this issue on 18.04.
I'm wondering if it has been fixed for 20.04 ...
based on lack of activity in this ticket I supposed it won't be fixed.
I'd like to use LIRC but I guess I'll abandon it forever since I

device that has IR support on my laptop, but I don't keep it plugged in

I had this same problem

other packages.
