Hi Mike,
do you have any references to these guidelines?

Did you try setting distribution to focal-pgdg? Then everything should
be consistent.

That doesn't work as the Release file mentions the name as well and
apt will complain if it doesn't match.

Please see https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/pool/README for an
explanation.

That would require you to set distribution = focal/postgresql. Is that
any better?
