Trigger cycles situation often create upgrade problems, while we are fixing some of the individual problems there are still reports of using having upgrade issues.

Debian made change to dpkg to help with those cases

dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger processing
The introduction of dependency satisfiability for trigger processing,
which was in the original spec but not the implementation, there has
been countless problems with bogus detection of trigger cycles.

dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger cycle checks
This new dependtry level will also check trigger cycles on trigger
process deferral due to unsatisfiable dependencies.

Could we consider SRUing those improvements to xebian/bionic?
