Hello! 
Although the author of the upstream package is a well known ROS developer, this 
package does not look like a ROS package except for its package.xml (which is 
ROS-related metadata) and its build-dependency on the catkin build tool (the 
official ROS 1 build tool).
It was never released for newer versions of ROS 2 and it seems it's not listed 
in the system dependencies index so probably no ROS 2 package uses it 
https://index.ros.org/search_deps/?deps=serial
If this package is needed in new versions of Ubuntu, the best approach imho is 
to remove the buildtool dependency on catkin. It seems it was already done here 
in this patch 
https://sources.debian.org/patches/libcxx-serial/1.2.1-5/0001-build-Fix-packaging-issues.patch/
 
where they only kept catkin for the testing step. 
Who should propose to change our reference source code to get the 
fix-packaging-issues patch?
