Sorry I do not know anything about device numbers.  Is this some kind
of unique number for any remote like the MAC adress for network cards?

While I in principle would not hesitate to do some programming I
do not really have time to dive into a completely new field and
learn how to programm remote controls.  So as a Debian developer I
would offer to package the favourite program of the person who
volunteers to fix this problem.  Wouldn't this be a fair trade? ;-))

Kind regards
