It seems Richard is right - https://ubuntu.qgis.org/ubuntugis/ works and
https://qgis.org/ubuntugis/ does not.
But Jürgen reported that it does work for him, which is perplexing.

When I installed again later in the day (for a later version of Ubuntu),
from http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly/, I was having problems with the
packages downloading quite slowly or timing out - I guess the server was
overloaded. Perhaps the docs should mention both https://ubuntu.qgis.org/
ubuntugis/ and http://qgis.org/ubuntugis/ if they are on different servers.
