Requesting for exteding the init script from lirc to add an "provide lirc" why? in the tree are now 2 lirc compatible servers lircd/irtrans-irserver by adding such an entry to both would solve #190285 this way all packages like vdr/mythtv/xine/.... would only need to depend on lirc. Reproducible: Always
Just stick "provide lircd" in irtrans-irserver and be done with it. No special renaming or changing needing to be done. Because provide $NAME_OF_SCRIPT, is already implied. So technically, the lircd init script provides lircd. I'll refrain from closing this until Matthias comments.
