Good question. All I can tell you is that the Apache repository is
the official one (the only official one).

If it is your intention to run Apache Cassandra, from the Apache
Cassandra project, then you should be using the Apache repo.

Yes, as I remember, someone was concerned that the use of the word
"Debian" might be interpreted to mean that the packages were Official
in the Debian sense.
So, these packages-meant-to-be-installed-on-Debian-systems *are* the
official packages of the Apache™ Cassandra™ Project, even if they are
*not* officially a part of Debian™.
Make sense? :)

OK to make things even more confusing, the “Release” files in the Apache Repo say "Origin: Unofficial Cassandra Packages”!!
i.e. http://dl.bintray.com/apache/cassandra/dists/35x/:Release
