If it helps this is my rc.local (I'm on ubuntu 16.04)

#!/bin/sh -e
#
## rc.local
#
## This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

/usr/bin/ir-keytable -s rc1 -c
/usr/bin/ir-keytable -s rc1 -w /etc/rc_keymaps/dvico_mce-nec.keymap


/etc/rc_keymaps will be created by the ir-keytable package.
But the file within will probably have to come from you.
There are some provided by the package in /lib/udev/rc_keymaps
that you could start from.

Note also that ir-keytable attempts to set this up automagically
via the file /etc/rc_maps.cfg.

My understanding is what I have in rc.local overrides the automagic,
but my remote is one of the commented ones in rc_maps.cfg so I may
be hallucinating.

See also /usr/share/doc/ir-keytable/README.Debian
