This is a limitation of the way reprepro works. It only provides Apt
metadata for the latest version of a package.
Do you know of another open-source software project that provides Apt
repos that contain metadata for all older versions of packages? (in a
single debian repo URL?)
If so, I would like to look at their repository and ask them what
tools they are using to generate their repositories. As far as I know,
debian.org and ubuntu.com both use reprepro.
