Not positive how this will work for this particular package, but a
summary of how I switched from all HELIX gnome to Woody gnome when
Woody was updated a few months ago.
Use something like
remove spidermonkey.*.* from /etc/apt/sources.list
do apt-get update and/or dselect update
grep-status -F Version Helix -s Package,Status
Note the installed Helix packages for next step
Use wget and/or ftp and/or packages.debian.org to locate and download
the Woody packages to replace the Helix ones.
Then use dpkg -i {Woody gnome pkg}.deb
if necessary to force a change use --force-depends and/or overwrite.
Sort of ugly, but WFM without having to remove 40 or so packages.
