so to summarize, you installed the package, of course also module has to be loaded, but no lircd should be started at all ? how xbmc is then accessing the remote ? through uinput and mapping to just userlevel input device?

I have an old af9015 DVBT usb stick with remote ... would this be worth trying to see it myself?

or maybe should we add/install ir-keytable to default image ?

The gist of how it works is without lirc all together.

Mapping is done through udev and /etc/rc_keymaps/yourfile

ir-keytable should be included and the linked tutorial should be refined (exactly which remotes work with the kernel method) and included in the xbian wiki.

You should definitely try your old USB stick with remote to gain the necessary knowledge of how ir-keytable works.
