first, debian does it that way and for some people it's important to replicate the same alike repositories. second, it's nifty for mirroring. you can rsync over the whole repository, and exclude the submodules in dists and pool you don't want, and be done with it. no error prone and crappy packages.gz/sources.gz parsing that tools like debmirror need to do and often break or choke up with.
