Bug Description

Dear Maintainer,

the udev rule installed from debian/ir-keytable.udev is not guaranteed to be run at the
appropriate moment during bootup which can cause the remote not to be
configured according to the settings in /etc/rc_maps.cfg. This seems to occur more often with newer kernel versions.

Please use the upstream version
(https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/tree/utils/keytable/70-infrared.rules) instead.
This commit message explains the need for this change:
https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/commit/utils/keytable/70-infrared.rules?id=e440918467868a5f3e7f73f54ef2cbd85d68f3f1

Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04

ir-keytable version: 1.18.0-2build1 and later
