Description
Description of the tech debt to be addressed, include links and screenshots
Currently, we have paths for rpm based distros that look like this: https://repo.saltproject.io/salt/py3/photon/4/arm64/.
For each rpm based distro, we should replace arm64 with aarch64. The old style paths will be deprecated properly, and phase EOL when 3009.0 is released.
Tasklist:
- Update repo publishing to publish to both paths
- Update the package tests to prefer
aarch64paths - Update the download tests to only pull from
aarch64paths - Deprecation notice in the install guide, and have it prefer
aarch64paths

Research direction
Start with the install guide and the example RPM-based repository URL in the issue. Add a deprecation notice for the old arm64 paths and make the guide prefer aarch64 paths; done means the guide reflects the migration while the existing publishing and test changes remain consistent.
