一応USBシリアルコントロールチップ関係でFT245の名前が入っていますが、、、

パッケージ: python-ftdi (0.16-2) [universe]
Python module to control and program the FTDI USB controller

This Python module could talk to FTDI's FT232 and FT245 type USB chips from userspace. It uses libusb to communicate with the chips.

Functionalities include the possibility to use the chips in standard mode, in bitbang mode, and to read or write the serial EEPROM.

パッケージ: libftdi0 (0.10-2)[universe]
Library to control and program the FTDI USB controller

This library could talk to FTDI's FT232 and FT245 type USB chips from userspace. It uses libusb to communicate with the chips.

Functionalities include the possibility to use the chips in standard mode, in bitbang mode, and to read or write the serial EEPROM.

このパッケージを入れると認識するのではないでしょうか。
9.10 なら
$ sudo apt-get install python-ftdi

8.04なら
$ sudo apt-get install libftdi0

それでダメならベンダーID等を調べて

頑張るしかないかも。
