[Python-modules-team] Bug#1063396: lircd systemd service times out

[Oswald Buddenhagen]

Package: lirc
Version: 0.10.2-0.5
Severity: important

from the journal:

Feb 07 00:04:05 ugly lircd-0.10.2[35370]: Notice: lircd(default) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd
Feb 07 00:05:35 ugly systemd[1]: lircd.service: start operation timed out. Terminating.

so lircd gets terminated despite everything being just fine. that's
because the service type is specified as "notify", but clearly the
daemon doesn't actually send a readiness notification. that's probably
either because lirc was built without systemd support against intentions
(missing build-dep?), or because it doesn't actually have support for
systemd in the first place, and the service type should be "simple" (or
maybe "exec", but nobody seems to use that).
