It doesn't matter. Symlinks' permissions don't matter at all, it is
the permission of the file they point to that matters.
Just try it with ordinary files.

Ideally you aren't going to use /dev/ttyS0 anymore since you have
/dev/tts/0.
(realistically, though, the compatibility links are important for an
