Hi,
there are two init scripts to configure serial ports:
/etc/init.d/setserial
/etc/init.d/etc-setserial
In case of an existing /etc/serial.conf, the script /etc/init.d/setserial
can be only used to handle modules or get some status.
The actual configuration will be done by /etc/init.d/etc-setserial. So your
invoke-rc.d setserial restart
should have been
invoke-rc.d etc-setserial restart
Thats why your configuration changed only when you rebooted.
Anyway, I am not able to reproduce your originally problem with files in
/var/lib/setserial not changing after dpkg-reconfigure
Do you still see that problem with a recent versin of the package?
Otherwise I would close that bug now.
Thorsten
