      When arm64 package builds were added to Ubuntu and Debian repos, instead of adding the arch to the existing repo, an entirely separate repo (ubuntu-arm64) was created.

      This seems needlessly over complicated, especially when EL and SLES repos have x86_64 and aarch64 (and srpm) under the same repo.

      There are already multi-arch deb repos in use currently.

      Debian buster and stretch built i386 and amd64 in the same repo.

      Raspbian stretch and bullseye build armhf and arm64 in the same repo.

      It seems far more concise and predictable to keep the arm64 arch builds under the same parent directory as the x86_64 builds.

      There will always be a next architecture, so instead of having it sprawl for every distro-arch pair, why not consolidate it back to just the distro repos, and build whatever arch packages under the same repo umbrella?

      Also, the separate debian/raspbian repos seem duplicitous?

      Unless there are some differing build dependencies, it seems like debian (i386,amd64), debian-arm64, and raspbian (armhf,arm64) could all be consolidated under a single debian root with i386,amd64,arm64,armhf builds for the various arch's that Zabbix wants to target.
