Are you sure?  Bc when I tried this just last night on a 10.04
server, I still had to create an /etc/init/ttyS0.conf with the
obvious contents in order to get a login prompt (even, iirc,
boot messages) on ttyS0.

It's not a big deal, but of course it means you have to have
some other way of getting into the box after install to set
that up first.
