Indeed that problem has also been reported to Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860296
The maintainer there is not really helpful acknowledging it's an issue though and argue the users who don't have the hardware should disable/remove lirc. The component is not installed in Ubuntu by default but seems like KDE can pull it in.
