I generated a bionic container, and then ran apt upgrade against the
dpkg status file in it, that is:

lxc exec splendid-flea -- apt -o Dir::State::Status=$PWD/var/lib/apt-
clone/dpkg-status  dist-upgrade


I have the -proposed repository enabled and pinned to -1 to make apt not use 
it, and the upgrade fails as in the bug report.

Pinning the binaries of the fpc source package in proposed to 500
(reenabling them) makes the upgrade work.

So, point 1 is verified. It's highly likely that applies to point 2 as
well, but I can't check that atm.
