Hi,
the list of supported Ubuntu releases for postgresql-12 (or devel in
general) is mostly influenced by what travis-ci supports, so there was
no urge for me to add bionic, but it does indeed make sense to add it.
Done now, will be part of the next regular build. (Every 6 hours
depending on if there was a change in git. That's why it isn't
targeting all distribution/architecture combinations, which would be a
lot of resources and build time.)
Thanks for the suggestion!

No, it needs to be called postgresql-12 or else things will get very
complicated. (For upgrades, and postgresql-common operation in
general.)
