That's how the archive layout of Debian Ports looks like and is owed to the fact that Debian Ports supports uploading packages for the unreleased distribution per architecture. > On the official mirrors, I do not see the arch in the name of the pool > directory, ie this has debs for different arches: > > http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/bash/ The official mirrors use DAK, Debian Ports uses mini-DAK.

No, nothing broken, nothing unusual.
