Since commit a60d64b15c20 ("media: lirc: lirc interface should not be a raw decoder"), there is no lirc_dev module any more. On Ubuntu 16.10, the /etc/init.d/lirc startup script attempts to load the lirc_dev module. Since this module does not exist any more, this script fails. Add an alias so the correct module is loaded.
