AFAIK, it can also point to ports.ubuntu.com (just like regular x86
users can use archive.ubuntu.com instead of security.ubuntu.com)

compare:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/ (or http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/)
