I think you have this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/460857

or rather, you like the behaviour that ubuntu thinks is buggy,
which never got fixed, and don't like that it changed to be
what ubuntu thinks is correct in .65.

I'd talk to the pyserial issue tracker as the people there ought
to be well aware of this problem, and then see if talking to
ubuntu is the right thing to do.
