No, I don't think it is. That bug is about what apt does by default.
This bug is about what protocols Ubuntu makes available in its official
mirrors.

HTTPS could be made available but not be made default, for example. And
currently, it's quite possible for someone to run an HTTPS Ubuntu
mirror, and for users to configure apt with HTTPS against that mirror
instead.
