There are two ways of using the apple remote receiver: an in-kernel input driver and a user-space lirc driver. As stated in the bug report, the lirc driver requires some extra setup and has a repeat key issue in Karmic. However, LIRC is the preferred method for remote input device support. Also, LIRC now has a patch committed upstream to fix the apple remote repeated key issue:

http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lirc/lirc/daemons/hw_hiddev.c?r1=5.21&r2=5.22

Unfortunately, there has not been a new release of LIRC with this fix yet.
