This is a long-standing issue with the ports mini-dak setup.

The source packages are actually present in the archive but
there are no Sources files referencing them, for example:

https://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-riscv64/main/g/grpc/

The ports are a lot more official than the janitor repos and I don't
think it is a good idea to mix them both into the same set of tables.

In addition the main reason I wanted this change is so that porters can
use `rmadison -u ports` to get just ports package details and not get
aptosid or other repositories that are not related to ports.

For these reasons I think we should have separate tables for ports and
other unofficial repos like the janitor ones.
