You are exactly correct. Turns out that AWS S3 is not following RFC 1866 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1866> and hasn't since the 
beginning. And I'm guessing it is now too late. With this new 
information I've finally found a thread complaining about this (it 
affects other repos like apt).

My little hack of renaming openjdk packages will have to stay I guess.
