I installed it by specifying the version number-- 

for foo in <all of the xf4 packages in that directory on penguinppc>; do
apt-get install $foo=4.0.2-1puetzk
done

Or something to that effect.  I.e. the key being specifying the
version number.  From looking at root's .bash_history it doesn't
appear that I had to specify downgrade.

I'm going with the .debs just because it's one thing fewer that I
gotta compile myself.  Thanks, Kevin.
