# find /dev/tty*S* -group tty
/dev/ttyS0
# find /dev/tty*S* ! -group tty
/dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS3
/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB1
/dev/ttyUSB10
/dev/ttyUSB11
/dev/ttyUSB12...
Why is /dev/ttyS0 special on my system? Could it be something I did or
is that how Debian comes? Or an effect of running pppd or minicom etc.?
That's very odd!
Group permissions shouldn't get touched as far as I know.
You could try to find out if any of the postinst scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info changes device permissions. minicom.postinst looks okay to me.
