preparing for the next archive opening

We usually tend to open the archive with a few prepared changes in place, for
the 20.04 cycle we are planning to open with

- python3.8 as a supported version, maybe already as the default.

- link time optimization enabled by default in GCC. This will
add a few ftbfs (~400). I am currently planning to have a
blacklist package listing all the source which cannot be
built with LTO. The alternative of having to upload around
400 packages to disable LTO isn't appealing either.

- new boost version

Desktop and server teams didn't want to add anything to this list yet.

When enabling the Debian syncs, we'll see some more transitions, as usual.
