This package is binding the USD devices under static name, so you can install the udev rule to identify the device as given in launch files. In order to do so edit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules file under root user:

$sudo su root 
$nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-serial.rules
#add the following line inside the file 
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="23f3", SYMLINK+="roboteq"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", SYMLINK+="imu"
#now reload the rules files using the following code 
$sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger
