Could you use a lower case suite in your local apt repository as a
workaround for this issue?

I feel like it's a bit of a standard to have lowercase: jammy, bookworm,
virginia etc.

Title:
  apt-add-repository incorrectly forces lowercase

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a local APT repository with a non-lowercase suite identifier.
  apt-add-repository always forces it into lowercase, which causes apt
  to emit warnings when it notices the mismatch:

  $ sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://example.com/deb FooBar Baz"
  Repository: 'deb http://example.com/ foobar Baz'
  Description:
  Archive for codename: foobar components: Baz
  More info: http://example.com/
  Adding repository.
  Press [ENTER] to continue or Ctrl-c to cancel.
  (...)
  $ sudo apt update
  (...)
  W: Conflicting distribution: http://example.com/deb foobar InRelease 
(expected foobar but got FooBar)
