Can you provide us with the full log of that startup attempt?

# brltty -b al -d serial:/dev/ttyS0 -n -e -l 7 2>/tmp/log

and send the resulting file?

It should not.  BRLTTY does serial port initialisation depending on what
driver you selected, so it should not be necessary to use setserial
before running brltty, except you have a non-standard serial port
controller like those multiport beasts which might need, as you already
guessed, IRQ and port base adjustments.  But since d-i managed to detect
your serial port, I doubt that.

Maybe after seeing the exact errror message.
