I don't think so: on debian brltty is _not_ installed by default, only
people having braille displays would install it. The combination of
owning both a USB serial dongle _and_ a braille display is very rare and
such people would know how to tackle it anyway.

Ideally yes, but it's hard to track that automatically: you'd have to
somehow parse the source code to know which identifiers are used.
