The irda-utils package was removed in Debian (https://bugs.debian.org
/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907453) mentioning the lack of kernel
support. Checking the upstream kernel repo, the following commit was
part of v4.17:
commit d64c2a76123f0300b08d0557ad56e9d599872a36
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gre...@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: Wed Mar 14 13:12:26 2018 +0100
staging: irda: remove the irda network stack and drivers
No one has publicly stepped up to maintain this broken codebase for
devices that no one uses anymore, so let's just drop the whole thing.
If someone really wants/needs it, we can revert this and they can fix
the code up to work properly.

This would mean that no Ubuntu kernel after 18.04/Bionic has kernel
support. Proposing to remove this package from Groovy onward.
