In that case given the issue is due to a user misconfiguration, I
guess we should just try to detect it, display a note and fail the
installation.
Warning the user would be certainly a good idea. But of course that
would only help if the devpts filesystem was misconfigured at
installation time. For me, this wasn't the case.
What was the issue on your case?
I had schroot configured to mount /dev/pts with default permissions.
(This should not be the problem for most schroot users. By default
schroot bind-mounts /dev/pts from the host.) So my /dev/pts permissions
were fine on upgrade; they only broke later, when I tried to build a
package.

Due to a typo, this bug didn't get upgraded to serious.
FWIW, it wasn't a typo. :) It's an actual usertag of mine:
