This is just the way reprepro works - only the latest version will be
reported.

This is a feature. Users really should be installing the latest release
version.

This happens for every release. Every so often, branches will be culled
from http://www.apache.org/dist/, when they are no longer supported, so
periodically, complete series of packages will disappear. However, they
will always be available from the canonical Apache release repository.

The canonical release repository for Apache projects is
archive.apache.org. Every release artifact of the Apache Cassandra
project appears at:

  http://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/

A debian package user that cannot upgrade to the latest version via
apt-get can always use, for example wget to fetch .deb. files they need
from the repo pool dir:

  http://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian/pool/main/c/cassandra/

You will not find Cassandra 0.7.9 in the "current" apt repositories any
longer, since they are unsupported, but there are indeed people using
that version. The above spot is where to find the .deb packages for
0.7.9, and all older releases.
