Package: irda-utils
Version: 0.9.18-6
Severity: normal

The package description mentions findchip, but findchip is only included
in i486-linux-gnu binary packages. There are two issues here:

1) Shouldn't the tool also be included on AMD64 machines? There
shouldn't be any difference in the infrared devices between AMD64 and
i386. (To make it compile, I had to exchange asm/io.h for sys/io.h in
findchip.)

2) The package description should mention that findchip isn't included
on all architectures. Otherwise, people install irda-utils to test if
there is infrared available on their machines, just to find out that
findchip doesn't exist.
