Yes and no.

The APC uhidev support sucks, so I've patched code that makes it work
under ugen.

I'm also using an old version of Apcupsd -- 3.10.17. At least I assume
it is an old version. I got it and the usb patch from a friend. Since
the code works with my unit I've seen no reason to see about changes or
updates. Perhaps the need for this changed in the last couple of years.
Don't know.
If your interested in trying my version grab

The file "uhidev-patch" contains the needed kernel patch.
The file "doit" is a shell script that will configure, make and install
the daemon. Pay attention to the last 30 or so lines displayed when
running the script. It will tell you what was installed and/or patched
in /etc.
