In early July, when Anthony first asked the question below, I sort of
kept my eye out for an answer or two on it:

Either I missed some responses, which may have gone directly to him, or
there wasn't much feedback on it.
In light of some recent discussions regarding apt-get, mixing releases,
etc., ...
Not to mention that I recently went to Woody...
I'd really like to hear about the reversability, bi-directionality,
whatever, capablilities built into apt-get, dselect and dpkg.
Has anyone actually done or at least attempted this?
Thanks for any light anyone can shed,
