Public bug reported:

I just updated from Artful to Bionic using the usual GUI. Before
upgrade, I had artful-proposed in sources.list, with a
/etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates pin as follows:

Package: *
Pin: release a=artful-proposed
Pin-Priority: 400

This pin is recommended in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed.

I forgot I had this here. I've ended up with Bionic installed, but fully
upgraded up to proposed. The preferences file wasn't touched, and since
it is release-specific, it now has no effect.

Could you perhaps detect if the proposed pocket appears in sources.list
or sources.list.d and disable it like you do PPAs before upgrade?
