Bug Description
I am filing the same bug against Ubuntu as Alec Leamas (upstream lirc maintainer) did against Debian:
https:/
===begin===
The lirc sources used (0.9.0-pre1) is now very old (2011), lagging two
major and several minor releases behind upstream.
I'm filing this in my capacity as the upstream maintainer. The very old
sources used by Debian are becoming a problem also for us, since it
makes a substantial part of the user base using sources we don't
maintain any more.
I'm perfectly aware that the decision to update, to what and when, is up
to the Debian maintainers. That said, if I as the upstream could make
anything to make an update easier, please let me know.

I am the upstream maintainer. Upstream is now at 0.9.4; the lag is becoming a larger problem over time.
There is a debian packaging available upstream. A slightly revised version is attached (size permitting), adopted for xenial. Is there a way to have this reviewed and eventually the Ubuntu official packaging?
The normal path to make this first in Debian i basically blocked. See ubuntu-
