Oops, you are right, this line should be kept !

This syntax is in use elsewhere in the same file (line 48).
Yes, it may be tempting to spare one shell sublevel and write

read is_ports_architecture < /usr/lib/choose-mirror/port_architecture

Unfortunately, this fails with a return code of 1 : EOF is reached
before the end of the line (as there is no new line at the end of
the file). As a result, the whole script fails (because of option :
set -e)
