You don't need python-serial to create an RFCOMM Bluetooth socket. Package python2.5-bluez enables you to do that. It gets installed automatically when you install Python (python2.5-runtime) on your tablet. RFCOMM sockets act like serial port sockets: example.

You need python-serial to connect a real serial port adapter to the tablet in USB host mode. There's no ready-made package that I know of, but python-serial is a pure Python module and can easily copied around. See my earlier post about the subject.
