Hi Stefan,

it's never been the expectation that "postgis" will install the
correct PostGIS version for the correct PostgreSQL version. If there's
only one version to choose from in a single Debian distribution, it
will work, but as soon as there's several versions to choose from like
in apt.postgresql.org, you should explicitly select a version:

apt install postgis postgresql-11-postgis-2.5

That said, we don't have postgis 2.5 packages for PG 12 yet.
