Unfortunately not. One has to indirect the "LAM X.Y.X" url to parse a
second page with the actual download urls. Unfortunately the standard
Debian tools cannot (yet) do this. If it is possible to have a single
page or ftp directory with all the available releases somewhere, that
would do the trick. Of course, time permitting :-).

Take care,
