Right, I think I figured out something like this in a followup
comment. I forgot that pgdg already has version 141 of p-common.

It's too much magic for my taste. With conffiles there's so much that
can go wrong, and one often runs into situations where they cannot be
updated automatically.

But in the end I don't think that this is such a big problem; the
non-LTS releases are really not a good thing to deploy PostgreSQL on,
especially now that from 13.04 on they are only supported for 9
months. So perhaps the right answer for now is just "don't do that
then"?
