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.

Title:
  Network manager stops managing Ethernet links after upgrade

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading Ubuntu, it stopped configuring the word connection on
  my headless computer (super annoying to deal with). In any case, it
  was an issue with NM config change that caused my wired device to
  become unmanaged.
