$ wget -q https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
$ 7z l /tmp/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso  | grep linux-image
2021-07-21 03:02:23 .....     53566832     53566832 pool/main/l/linux-signed-amd64/linux-image-5.10.0-8-amd64_5.10.46-2_amd64.deb
2021-07-21 03:02:23 .....         1480         1480 pool/main/l/linux-signed-amd64/linux-image-amd64_5.10.46-2_amd64.deb

Thus repository directory is /, and l-i directory is
/pool/main/l/linux-signed-amd64.

No, you do not need that. A simple --bind will suffice.

Some of them do, some of them do not. Manual pages are reference, not a tutorial.
