Dear stable release managers, I would like to fix a bug in finish-install, which doesn't enable the serial console on MIPS Swarm machines during installation, as the serial devices are called duart0 or duart1 instead of tty*. This bug is quite important to fix as these machines are used as build daemons in Debian, and thus should be able to be reinstalled easily.
Please consider the diff below for finish-install in stable.
