Looks sane enough to me in general. As I said of my similar solution --
it ain't pretty. But it works.

I'd like to get rid of 'knownvariants' in the helper script, and it
would be nice to be able to have the description match the 'primary'
package description.

(And it doesn't actually build here -- lirc_it87.c attempts to include
asm/segment.h, probably without good reason.)
