Previous versions of Django allowed for "-"s in the rightmost component of
a hostname. This was tightened in a previous release. While the
[https://github.com/django/django/commit/bc98bc56a52860688ea0ae2ec7b9e59ddb72a811
case for punycode domains was fixed], there's no technical reason to
disallow them in any part of a hostname component except for at the
beginning or end.
That is to say: http://ubuntu-mirror.my-tld/ubuntu is flagged as an
invalid URL, even though the DNS has an IP for it, and apt happily
upgrades from the archive mirror that is there.
The fix for <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25452#comment:2>
appears to be when this regression was introduced.
