Don't think about it as something like a lirc-dev package. As a workaround I use it that way, but it is very ugly. Only to get the header files and a lirc-dev-module that fits to it, you have to build a huge amount of unnecessary lirc-modules on every target machine that wants to use my extra lirc module. This happens again on every kernel update. I can't see that the linux package and the lirc-module-source package are synchronized, so there is no warranty that the header files from lirc-module-source would fit always to the lirc modules in the kernel. So if you provide the lirc modules in the kernel, there should be the lirc headers in linux-headers. Or the linux-modules-source package should get synchronized with the lirc modules in the kernel and the auto dkms feature from the lirc-module-source package should get removed, but then it would be a lirc-dev package.
