I tried upgrading again with the /etc/molly-guard/rc changes on both an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS desktop install (logged in via GUI) and a lxc container (connected via ssh) and in neither case were the sources.list files set back to bionic.

To finish the upgrade, a restart is required.
If you select 'y' the system will be restarted.

Additionally, the dist-upgrader code wouldn't restore sources.list (afaict) if the reboot failed.
