I don't think that playing games with version numbers is a good thing to do.
Version numbers should match the upstream source release, and the binary
packages should not change that version.  Of course openjdk has a split
personality to give even another version when called with java --version

The final 11.0.3 release:
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2019-April/000951.html

does *not* contain the ea specifier.

I don't care what AdoptJdk is doing.  In the past, the only activity by AdoptJdk
was trying to promote their builds for inclusion in some Linux distros.
AdoptJdk only supports a subset of the Debian architectures, and we really don't
need yet another IcedTea.

This is a recent addition. Last time I asked on an upstream mailing list,
everybody seemed fine with the versioning:
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2019-April/000969.html

I'm moving that discussion to upstream, but in summary you shouldn't a dozen of
configure options to configure your build from source.  Just release a sane
upstream tarball.
