Can you specify the reason why this should get included?

If this option isn't there my lirc installation won't work. I have tries everything. And the only that seems to do the trick is the above option. I had a look to the old rc.d lirc script and the option was there.

eval /usr/sbin/lircd -d "$LIRC_DEVICE" $LIRC_EXTRAOPTS $LIRC_CONFIGFILE

I guess we shouldn't fix this in the package,but with systemd 198 users can extend the .service file. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-March/009496.html

After /etc/conf.d/lirc.conf have been deleted, I can not specify the name of device to use.

There must be a way to configure the device name without to have a "sex" with the systemd :)
