Looking at the changelog I see that the new conf.d file is a debian
addition. The relevant changelog says:

  * network-manager.postinst: Don't create
    /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf override on
    new installations. We don't want NM to manage non-wifi/wwan on
    servers/cloud instances, and for desktops live-build now installs a
    netplan policy snippet to let NM handle all devices.

Yet on my system there was no netplan, netplan is a dependency of 
"ubuntu-standard". Installing ubuntu-standard hasn't changed anything. I wonder 
how this was expected to work on upgrades.

In any case, I think that the "wwan" vs "gsm" is a separate bug that
needs investigation.
