Ubuntu uses upstart to manage its boot process, so you need to ensure that the
BRLTTY Upstart job is enabled.

I don't know Upstart, and my Web searches haven't revealed a quick answer to
what should be a common question. However, I found the following, which may
help you:

Interestingly, the init system that Debian is now migrating to, systemd,
offers a straightforward command for doing this: systemctl enable brltty,
which invokes BRLTTY during the boot process.  You can also run systemctl
start brltty to start it manually.
