Description

The debian repository contains just the latest version in the Packages files e.g. under http://dl.bintray.com/apache/cassandra/dists/30x/main/binary-amd64/Packages
This makes it impossible to pin a certain version for adding or replacing nodes and install them from the repository without manually downloading the package.
Maybe this was a deliberate decision, but I did not find any documentation about it.
It would be helpful to have a package list containing all patch numbers for consistent cluster setup without need to upgrade or manual downloads.
