Is this quota? It still seems to be in testing:

     quota |     1.65-4 |        stable | alpha, arm, i386, m68k,
                                          powerpc, sparc, source
     quota |     2.00-9 |       testing | alpha, arm, i386, m68k,
                                          powerpc, sparc, source
     quota |     2.00-9 |      unstable | mips, powerpc
     quota | 3.00pre01-2 |      unstable | m68k, ia64
     quota | 3.00pre01-3 |      unstable | alpha, arm, i386, sh, sparc,
                                           source

I'd have assumed that it couldn't have been rolled back to an older
version if the version in testing had been upgraded at any point to
3.00pre01, since the 2.00-9 packages would then have been physically
deleted.
