apt-listbugs does not trigger at all here.

It happily just installed xserver-xorg-core anyway. Maybe because the bug
marked as critical is against src:xserver-xorg. I´d think it would affect
all of its binary packages then, but maybe apt-listbugs does not get this.

I made the following similarly to how apt-listbugs does it:

%:/etc/apt/preferences.d> cat xorg                          
Explaination: #900333 xserver-xorg-core: flickering, black screen and modeset driver error: flip queue failed: Cannot allocate memory
Explaination: #900352 new xorg-server version causes a random freezes in plasmashell
Explaination: #900145 plasma-workspace: plasmashell freezes every few times it appears
Explaination: #900149 xserver-xorg: plasmashell freezes after upgrade xserver-xorg
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Pin: version 2:1.19.6-1
Pin-Priority: 30000
