I ran two Bionic VMs one as-is and one with proposed enabled to get the new chrony.
One upgrade starts at 3.2-4ubuntu4.2 the other one at 3.2-4ubuntu4.3 from proposed.

Both run `do-release-upgrade -d`
Both run into bug 1872902
  Calculating the changes
  MarkInstall systemd-timesyncd:amd64 < none -> 245.4-4ubuntu1 @un uN Ib > FU=1
   Removing: chrony
    MarkDelete chrony:amd64 < 3.2-4ubuntu4.3 -> 3.5-6ubuntu3 @ii umU Ib > FU=0

Unfixed one ran into:
Removing chrony (3.2-4ubuntu4.2) ...
Job for systemd-timesyncd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
dpkg: error processing package chrony (--remove):

ERROR: Cannot create report: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/chrony.0.crash'
Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The fixed version worked though the upgrade just fine.

Marking verified

P.S. Rbasak mentioned that in this case we might want to shorten the aging period for the SRU to get more upgrade-tests of the new code on prior to Focal release. @SRU team do you think that is reasonable and if so what would be a good time then?
