It sounds like you are using the incorrect runlevels in your inittab.

Debian runs at level 2 (I believe).  If you installed the mgetty package,
then the sample should be correct.

The mgetty line I'm using:
s0:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyC0

(I'm using a modem attached to a Cyclades port, of course...)
