debian-pure64 is a link to debian and purely for people that didn't
correct their paths when the archive moved.

debian-amd64 is a mixture of hardlinks and softlinks into debian
designed to be used alongside an official debian mirror to add only
amd64 specific files. Common files are symlinks to
../debian/... everything specific is hardlinked. Saves around 12GB
mirror space.

PS: I'm at a complete loss here why this bug happens.
