That's the justification from the source:

        # Make the serial backend run as root, since /dev/ttyS* are
        # root:dialout and thus not accessible as user lp
        chmod 700 debian/cups-filters/usr/lib/cups/backend/serial

… but I think it would work with a chmod 744.
Alexander: do you have a serial printer; and could you test?
Till: as you're the initial committer of that code; any opinion ?

Cheers,
