With luck it is as simple as (for example):
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-impress_2.0.3-6.deb
That just installs the old version of OOimpress and leaves the rest of OO
alone. If I'm reading the 'Depends:' for 2.0.3-6 correctly, that should
work. YMMV.
This also requires you to have the old version in your apt cache. If you
don't you should be able to download it from <http://snapshot.debian.net>.
