My solution to that specific problem is the following entry in /etc/devd:

	attach 500 {
		match "device-name"     "uftdi[0-9]*";
		match "vendor"          "0x0403";
		match "product"         "(0x6001|0x6015)";
		action "ln -fs /dev/cua$ttyname /dev/cua_$sernum";
	};
	
	notify 500 {
		match "system"          "USB";
		match "subsystem"       "DEVICE";
		match "type"            "DETACH";
		match "vendor"          "0x0403";
		match "product"         "(0x6001|0x6015)";
		action "rm -f /dev/cua_$sernum";
	};

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
