It may be better to use default_mode="0660", I do not think that there
are any mode 600 devices. This would allow setting only the group for
most of them.

(Feature request: would it be possible to extend the rules files parser
to support continuation lines? I'd like it to consider lines starting
with white space as part of the previous line.)

Don't bother with the debian files, I will send updated ones later.

Do 2.6 kernels really still support BSD pty devices?

This is a pipe or socket, it has never been a device.
