LIRC module Debian packages for 2.6.27 kernels

"LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used remote controls."

It seems that any time I try to use the Debian LIRC modules source package, it is too old to build against the kernel I am trying to use.  I have updated the 0.8.3 package currently found in Lenny and Sid to 0.8.4a.  It will now build against Linux 2.6.27.

• lirc-modules-source_0.8.4a-1_all.deb
