If I'm not mistaken, that directory pattern is put in place by the
glx-diversions package. I'm not terribly familiar with what that package
does in any detail, but if you want to find out, that might be the place
to start looking.

Based on that file pattern, I'd guess (and this is *only* a guess) that
at some point a different (non-mesa) GLX stack got installed, but only
in amd64 form, and glx-diversions diverted both architectures' files
because combining incompatible stacks isn't a good idea.
