Package: apt
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: wishlist
I was just testing some packages from experimental and wondered whether it
would be possible to use the Super Cow Powers of the new apt to return to
unstable without manual labor :) Specifying the versions on a per-package
basis worked, but it would be nice if there were a way (similar to -t) to
force all packages listed on the command-line to be from a particular release.
Thanks,
Daniel

In general downgrading is not supported/well tested by debian and I don't
really want to encourage mass downgrades.
