Would it be disasterous to change their major number to be the same, or
convince the distribution maintainers to make cua -> tty?
/dev/cuaXX devices have different behaviour than /dev/ttySxx devices, so
it's probably not a good idea to symlink them. The trick is that we
need to stop users from using them --- so the right thing to do is to
convince distribution maintainers to *remove* the cua* devices, and then
make sure they have updated programs and shell scripts that properly
deal with the /dev/ttySxx devices.
