It doesn't by default, but you can route dev/input devices via Lirc and
some Lirc drivers register their remotes into Linux INPUT framework as
regular mice/keyboards.
Usually, this uinput limitation doesn't concern you. It applies mostly
to BT devices (like my PS3 BD remote), but for those remapping is not
really required.
One device appearing as two is normal, all wireless kbd/mouse combos do
this. The important thing is keyfuzz can remap per device, so you're
covered.
