On Debian, there is a devfsd package. The devfsd is to ensure backward
compatibility. With devfs, the device for the first serial port is
called /dev/tts/0, the devfsd will create a link /dev/ttyS0 that points
to /dev/tts/0. So, either tell your application that it should use
/dev/tts/0 or install devfsd, or both. :-)

The devfsd will do it for you, maybe you should read the
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/devfs/README file.
