	No, I haven't done this, but I think that you may get
	something similar to what you want if you:

	1 - change your sources.list to include the older version of
	    Debian
	2 - apt-get update
	3 - use apt-get with the --reinstall option.

	Perhaps if you did something like apt-get --reinstall
	dist-upgrade it would do what you want.

	Hope this helps you at least a tiny bit, Roger...
