I find with LIRC it's usually easiest to abandon using packages and

it's usually what I resort to.
In the case or the original poster, that's more likely to be the problem
than the solution. The following line from the latest version's lirc
startup script for "Debian":
# This is an init script for Debian 2.1 Slink distribution.
That probably explains is it expects to find /dev/lirc instead of
/dev/lirc0, as udev expects.
