This is not the case - see

That may well have been the case in early July. It has not been the case
since at least last week, when the announcement was made.

The security team and the ftpmaster of amd64.debian.net disagree on both
points, as per the d-d-a post I referred to earlier. Therefore I'm closing
this report.

(Indeed
http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/stable/updates/main/
already contains a binary-amd64 folder, although admittedly it currently
only contains arch-all packages)
