To remove completely
sudo apt-get remove --purge lirc

But I would doubt that this would interfere  with the keyboard.

Check the distance from your wireless keyboard to the receiver, my 
Microsoft one will not work well beyond a meter or two and I have to 
move the receiver closer to the keyboard.

Regarding Mythbuntu, I understand that its benefit is a replacement of 
the operating system (less bloat) as well as more up to date patches.  I 
am not sure how this would go on top of your current system.
