I am beginning to agree - I turned on "all" debugs on mythfrontend and it
does not log any LIRC events at all, so we will not be getting help from
that unfortunately.  Like I mentioned, I use redhat derivatives and do not
see this issue (nor have I ever), so I cannot replicate it here.  The fact
that multiple debian users see it though is another wrnech in the mix.

I see 2 options -

1.  mythfrontend on debian does something odd
2.  mythbuntu packages have left an old setting around causing the issue

It would be worth setting mythfrontend to debug all and see if something
besides IR is causing it to ignore the button press in the logs on those
systems - IR events are not logged at all here when I do it on 0.28
