"Use modems" is too specific

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical)]

The "Use modems" option in the Users and Groups dialog for the groups that users
can be assigned to is too specific -- this should also suggest other serial
devices such as Palm Pilots.

Perhaps "Use serial devices such as Modems and Palm Pilots." ?

Thanks for your bugreport.

Here is the needed patch, fixing it for breezy would mean breaking the
translations so it is postponed for breezy+1.
