I've got the module compiled by downloading the source code from the sourceforge lirc page. It compiled and inserted successfully and I was able to see data coming from the /dev/lirc0 device with mode2.

I purged the lirc-modules-source package, used dpkg with the --unpack switch to unpack the .deb file, and edit the following files to add in the lirc_wpc8769l module for compilation by dkms:
/usr/src/lirc-0.8.6/dkms.conf
/usr/src/lirc-0.8.6/lirc-modules-source.conf

Find patches for the above changes attached.

This successfully creates the lirc_wpc8769l.ko file, but it does not successfully load via modprobe or insmod:
