no, it's not.
The two issues have different roots for the misbehavior. You talking
about a problem that was within the package listserialportsc.

Debian didn't had this problem as Debian isn't using --as-needed within
the linker flags.
But a few days ago a MR for listserialportsc was worked into the
packaging that is reordering the LDFLAGS so an rebuild on the Ubuntu
infrastructur will create correctly linked binaries again (once Ubuntu
will pull in new packages from Debian).
