Preferably yes, although 2.0.3 should work as well.

Not that I know of, but I'm by no means an Ubuntu expect.

You don't use an USB connection, so the above doesn't apply to you. The
startup problems were related to the newhidups (now usbhid-ups) driver
that took a long time to startup for some UPS devices. A workaround for
this problem was introduced in nut-2.0.5 and the problem has been fixed in
the upcoming nut-2.2.1 release.

Let us know if that works for you.
