Debian has some setting like this for my modem device
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 7. Jan 2002 /dev/ttyS0
I added all necessary users to group "dialout" at least to have them access our modem.
But when some users start wvdial and the line breaks if maximum idle time is reached wvdial still seems busy and still gets hold of /dev/ttyS0. After a user sends Ctrl+C the /dev/ttyS0 looks like this:
crw-r----- 1 root dialout 4, 64 7. Jan 2002 /dev/ttyS0
... and no one can dial in again. I have to change this as root.
What actually does go wrong here? If one would use kppp the problem does occur.

I hardly think it necessary to install the Mega-size KDE libs to use kppp, but what is the reason pon/poff won't do? Although admittedly that is no solution to your problem ;-)
Hugo.
I used to have this exact same problem on my machine (except with /dev/ttyLT0, since it is a Lucent winmodem). But I don't know that there is a solution. Especially since I think that kppp would need to be suid root (not a good idea) to get past this problem.
