I've never had a problem compiling ivtv or nvidia modules with just
the kernel headers from unstable.

Actually there are:

apt-get install liblircclient0 lirc lirc-x

I didn't have to compile lirc and the modules are already part of the
stock debian kernel and are loaded when lircd is launched (set in
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf).

Anyway... there's nothing wrong with doing things the long way and it
will likely help our leet friend become a lnxmaster ;-).
