As a solution, I was look at the possibility of having multiple versions of the same package in the tree; i.e. during an update, the package maintainer will not remove the old uploads, but insert a new updated version. That way, if a user encounters bugs he can simply report the bug, roll back, and continue using testing in peace.
I like the idea, and I _think_ (I have not tried it systematically) it is solved by <http://snapshot.debian.org>.
As an example, you can compare the list of versions of liferea: Debian archive: <http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/liferea.html> Snapshots: <http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/liferea/> The introduction is available at <http://snapshot.debian.org/>The snapshot archive was previously an unofficial service, but some time ago it was made official and moved to debian.org.
I am not sure how nicely it is handled by your package manager. / johan
