I can’t speak for all, but the only lirc issue I had was the names of of several keys changed in .mythtv/lircrc by having “KEY_” appended to the beginning of them. So “Blue” became “Key_Blue” and Power became “Key_Power”, etc.  Wasn’t major, I just fired up irw floated through the keys, noted the ones that changed and did a find and replace on the lircrc file that I’d been carrying around since my first Mythbuntu install way back when.  Once it was working, I simply copied it to my other machines.
