Gabe,

You could save your config files, e.g.

    ~/.lirc/mythtv (aka ~/.mythtv/lircrc)
    /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
    /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
    /etc/lirc/<yourhardware>.conf

and re-apply them to your upgraded system.

Or consider this upgrade:  Like you I spent way too many hours on lirc 
and various mapping idiosyncracies until I got rid of it entirely.  I 
now control my MythTV with a wireless keyboard and have never looked 
back at using a remote.  The MythTV commands were really designed for a 
keyboard so the hardware and software just work and the human factors 
are far better.

Alan
