Thanks for your report.
There seem to be more dependencies missing, the next error I get is:
$ lirc-setup
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/lirc-setup", line 10, in <module>
import mvc_control
File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3/dist-packages/lirc/mvc_control.py",
line 2, in <module>
import gi
ImportError: No module named 'gi'
$
That's python3-gi, and after that I need also gir1.2-vte-2.91.
I am raising the severity since there doesn't seem to be any package
relationship on all the packages required for lirc-setup.
I cannot judge whether Depends is appropriate or would pull in too much,
but a Recommends or at least a Suggests on all required packages is
required.
